It won't, it's not designed to read ****, just dvd and cd discs.
But if you have been trying to use it to read **** then you possibly have **** on the lens. It often happens when you use it as intended too.
Try using a regular lens cleaning disc first but if that doesn't work then either the laser or the head transportation system has failed.
They CAN be replaced, but Durabrand are one of those 'no name' ultra-budget brands which just buys in generic products from China and has it's name put on the front.
This means that the internal transport mechanism could be from any of a number of manufacturers. It'll cost you $25 or so just to have it opened up to try and identify whether spares are available, or if you're reasonably technically minded and have an anti static mat or wrist strap you could open it and check for yourself.
If parts are available, then they're likely to cost in the order of $40 -$45 plus shipping, and then you may have fitting costs as well. Sorry, but I'd argue that when you can buy a used portable DVD player in full working order for around $60 and brand new ones for around $90 then it's uneconomic to repair this one.
If you do throw the machine away, list the remote control handset on an auction website. You can often get an easy $15-$20 even for obscure brands like yours.
