Our Aldi DVD player finally broke (in a ripe old age of almost 2 years)

Anyway... I'm taking it apart, what should I keep?

Btw. It doesn't have a HDD.

Try to reassemble it into something cool. Or keep the case and build a computer in it.

I took apart a dvd player before. It was obvious what the fault was. The circuits were fried.

Save the DVD in side of it, if there is one.

I usually salvage everything I can.

Things to try:

Get out the laser and connect it to a 9-volt battery

Get out the motors and make things move

Stuff like that.

I take alot of things apart when they die, and keep the parts for making stuff like motorized toy cars, speaker systems, and flashlights.

I would keep the motors, screen at the front, and any electronic components (like resistors, capacitors, chips) you can pry off the board

All good stuff! Don't forget the power cord, transformers, and any switches you can free up.

to add to what I said before, you should probably google stuff about the laser before you connect it, because it has 3 pins but only 2 are needed.

What about making the laser from the laser that reads the DVD?
