Handset Hack

[Macca2321]

Not Really a PC problem but hopefully someone can help.

I recently put my JVC DVD player in for repair as the drive would not open!. Good ol Germans fixed it for free even though it was 2 years or more old. Anyway now i got it back it is no longer region free!!!! It was when i bought it new.

I have searched and searched for a handset hack to change it back to region free but have hit a dead end.

Maybe has come across this problem before or can point me in the right direction. I am not paying to get it done either, worst case i take it back to shop and say sort it. But at the moment i cant be arsed sorting the wires in the back out again.(pain)

Its A JVC TH-A30 model,part of a home cinema thingy.

If anyone can help that would be appreciated

Thanks
Macca

Looks like this needs a hardware mod that was 'repaired' by the gool ol Germans

For example, this one

i thought none of the big manufacturers (sony, tosh, jvc etc.) products could be hacked from the handset, only the chinese stuff

There are hanset hacks for later models than mine...Looks like its back to the germans to sort it out.

My Philips has been "released" via the remote, but then it was so cheap it probably is Chinese
