I can see in video the laser assembly not moving. In my experience repairing many abandoned drives, the slides get dry and laser assembly either doesn't move or sticks. I lube these with slight amount 3 in 1 and in 90% cases fixes issue ( along with cleaning laser, belt on tray etc.....) It is rarely the electronics or the laser itself.
Yeah these late Chinese DVD players are basically all the same, the parts are generally interchangeable and the laser is generally a clone of a Sanyo SF-HD150 or similar (often labelled differently but they're all cross compatible). This means they're extremely cheap to replace but the question is, is it worth it. And yes, the laser is indeed shared with most of the ones built into TVs although the mechs are different. I recently scrapped one very similar to this (Bush branded, which had HDMI out but otherwise identical I think) purely because I had lost the remote and replacements were not economically available. I transferred the mech into a Sansui-branded "CD player" from a DAB/networked micro hifi where the CD was still working but the transport had disintegrated due to the cheap plastics decomposing and becoming brittle. That's the kind of quality we're dealing with here 😂

Low quality plastics is one of the ways they make these things so cheap I guess. At least you found a good use for one.
🤣🤣🤣
