What do I do if I can't get it to stop cycling through the start screen? I've done all the things, reset for 20 seconds, power for 20 seconds, unplugging for several hours, change power outlet... it's still cycling and not responding to the remote at all.

To perform a factory reset, you have to hold the button a minimum of 30 seconds, not 20. If it continues to restart after a factory reset, then the device has a significant problem and likely cannot be fixed. You didn't say what model player you have, but electronics can fail. Sometimes it takes years, sometimes much faster.
