I really believe it's a software issue rather than a hardware one. When I bought my first DVD drive the software that came with it [ Windows Power DVD ] said it would play any region DVD, but after five of any one region it would lock to that region. I only have one non-USA region DVD and I've only tried to watch it in Linux so.............
No, this is a dvd firmware problem. The first version of the region locking was removable and resettable by software, the second version which is employed for some years now will allow five changes of the region code and then lock. -- Sandy List replies only please!
