If the player is screwed anyway, take the cover off and see what it'll take to get the DVD tray open. If the drive is completely enclosed, there's usually a manual release of some kind on the underside of it. Think of it as a fun weekend project.

Well out of 90-day warranty. I don't know if you desire to deal with the one year limited price exchange that Philips does, especially with a $50-60 player. I have this very model and had to exchange it after about a week. I like the functionality of it (DIVX, MP3, multiregion, PAL to NTSC, plays anything I throw at it), so I would just go buy another one if it died.
