iPad won't play any videos

My iPad stopped playing any kind of video? I know a lot of others are having the same issue, does anyone know if a fix has been issued?

Thanks!

iPad, iOS 5.0.1

Ok, original iPad now an $800.00 door stop since Apple dropped it like a hot, rotten potato, but the 30 video clips which I loaded through iTunes are indeed in the MP4 format. Try to play, get a 1second working wheel, and then blackness. Reloading the videos does not work either. I am still using a MacBook ... The 2nd gen White case and it works better and can still be updated. Again these videos have been loaded for a a year and 1/2 and never had any issues. Why, when you are a world leader in technology would you simply stop supporting one of your products ... And I mean updates and troubleshooting. I really don't want to have to "Buy a newer device" each time a new device is released simply because a manufacturer decides that it WON'T provide further support to one of its products. If I had known that the original iPad was to be the first DISPOSABLE product at $800.00, I would have moved to something else.
