Sony BDP S350 bluray - unlocking to region free Yes, it is possible, but you'll need a programmable remote - most use the "one for 3/4/6/all". You can hack it by using the same code as for the bdp-s350. Follow the instructions exactly and it should work - mine does.

I personally dropped the 00 that are marked red and it worked for me but it depends on model of one for all remote.

Hi,

Yes there is a hack to make the DVD region free, as far as I know there is not one for the Blu-Ray as yet.

Good luck.

It is most likely a burnt out capacitor. It is probably the capacitor on the power supply and it will need to be changed.

Turn the unit off and temporarily disconnect the player from the power outlet for 10 seconds to reset it.

Hide all remotes from the line of sight of the unit and see if this helps....accordianman

test the capacitor with a meter to make sure it has the value stated on it.
the work on this unit is quickly exceeding its present value, most likely.
consider upgrading to a higher resolution unit if the fix is more expensive in parts and time than a new unit costs.
good luck

I had the same problem and searched FIX and found a solution for a Phillips DVD player that worked on my Sony DAV-FC7 dvd player. Someone posted that they called their Phillips Tech Service and was told to (a) unplug the dvd unit from the wall and wait 20 seconds,then (b) press the standby+plug the unit back into the wall at the same time and hold for 10 seconds. I did this for my Sony DAV-FC7 which would not power on nor eject (just red light on). IT WORKED!! after doing these steps, my SONY powered on and the rented DVD ejected. The dvd palyer works again. Thanks fellow FIXYA "posters".
