| Hi there, I know very little about computers and have, without knowing it changed the region for DVD playing on my computer to many times. I now have it stuck on region 1 and have learnt that in New Zealand most DVD's are region 4. At this stage I have been informed that the only fix is to pay $435 for a new DVD driver. This seem crazy as my computer is only about 6 weeks old. The current locked driver is a Matshita UJ-840D. Can anyone surgest a less expensive fix. |

| AnyDVD. And who charges $435 for a DVD burner? You could buy a whole new computer with a new DVD burner in it with that money.

 I think you're stuck. Matshita drives are the most restrictive re: region codes and I also think they are the least supported drives out there. For example, most liteons can be made region free with the LtnRPC utility. Also, Fengtao sells an application called DVDRegion +CSS Free which allows virtually any drive (except...you guessed it Matshita) to play any region dvd.

| You could ask Matshita to perform a VENDOR RESET for your drive but they would deny it strictly. Other manufacturers maybe would do it for you............. But MatSHITaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.rgh.
