Hectic

It has been a hectic week with work its crazy, regarding the blackberry 9780......................Loving it. Texting is no longer pain in the ass. My partner bought Tom and Jerry complete collector edition, oh man how i miss cartoon back in those days, well the item itself is gold but the problem start when i insert the cd's into my Samsung BD-C5900 this message come out *region is incorrect* oh man that was a killer, After looking through the website after countless search of finding a way to play the cd's, everything else looking grim. Went through to the seller well without fail they cant help then only one way to do it and yup thats right making my Bluray player into DVD region free machine baby! so this is what you need to do,


Go to this website http://www.videohelp.com/dvdhacks


Then find the instruction for your player:
Well for mine is goes like this..


1. Ensure that there is no disk in the tray. 

2. Switch the player off and then back on. This is necessary to clean-boot the firmware. 

3. Wait until the main menu page appears and the player stops doing anything. 

4. Press the eject button to open the tray. (The button is between the "Power" and "TV Power" buttons at the top of the controller.) 

5. Press the eject button to close the tray. 

6. Wait while the player searches for a disk. 

7. As soon as the "No Disk" message appears at the top left corner do the following. 

8. Press the REPEAT button – just above the TV channel selector at the bottom right of the controller. 

9. Enter 57538 on the number pad. 

10. The region code "2" should appear at the top left corner of the screen.(this just flashed on then off, so keep an eye on the screen) 

11. Enter a "9" to make the player region free. 

12. Power down and power up again. 

13. Play a foreign DVD to verify the change. 

==========================================================================================================

I found if i messed it up the first time, i could just re-enter the code without starting from the beginning. 

Firstly, you must start entering the code just after the "No Disk" message is shown and before the message disappears. 

Secondly, the REPEAT key is part of the code. All six keys must be entered smoothly as "REPEAT 57538". The entry gets timed out so you can't stop in the middle and restart. Don't bash away like crazy, just do it smoothly and briskly. 

If you don't see the "4" the first time, don't worry. Just repeat the process. It took me about a dozen tries before I got it to work. 

I can't guarantee that this player does not have a region change counter so I would be a bit careful about changing regions back and forth. I also can't guarantee that this will work with all released firmware. Samsung seems to take this crazy region bastardry very seriously for some reason. 

======================================================= 

For people from other parts of the world, all region codes are as follows 

1 – 2 9 3 3 4 
2 – 5 7 5 3 8 
3 – 5 6 7 3 2 
4 – 7 6 8 8 4 
5 – 5 3 8 1 4 
6 – 2 4 4 6 2 

This worked for me on the second attempt, first attempt was a learning curve.

Well to get it to work is the other part alot of patience and frustration. but........... good luck on your search and your attempt.
