The popping sounds and smell last night were definitely from the dvd player. Dad pulled it apart and we found one of the capacitors in the power supply had literally popped its top. Another one was close to it.
Dad's going to replace them (with maybe bigger capacitors - he said they were working too close to their limits and there wouldn't be such problems with electrical appliances if they put in bigger capacitors (I reckon it's a conspiracy to make sure you have to replace them more often) - it may be what happened to my previous dvd player too) and it might still be useable.
My daddy is a clever daddy :)
