I should have stuck with the old saying "If it aint broke dont try and fix it."
Anyway today I decided to upgrade the firmware on my BD P1500 blueray player, followed the instructions, plugged it into the ethernet cable, dowloaded all the latest firmware, all went well untill I tried to load a different region disk.
It spat it out saying wrong region, it was region free when I bought it. Now Samsung says I have to take it into their work shop so they can make it region free again and they wont tell me how to do it over the phone.
So major pain in the butt having to hike to some Gawd forsaken industrial estate in the middle of nowhere.
Should have left it, it was fine when it came straight out of the box.
All the hacks on the internet has not worked.
And while on the subject of upgrade firmware, my STARHUB hubstation packed in after the last upgrade and judging by the size of the Q, in the hubsation repair centre I wasn't the only one who had the problem.
