Not turning on and the blue screen might be related to a faulty remote. The blue screen is when the RSE is powered up and the play button is not pressed.
The skipping could be the DVD media itself, i.e. scratched, dirty, etc. Had one of the kids' movies skipping and stuttering, so I burned a new disc and that played fine.
