    I tend to travel quite a lot due to my employment situation.

    I'm Scottish, the office is in Boston but I'm typing this in Israel...[8D]

    Well, as some people might know, I recently had to replace my HD in my M6810 and I was quite surprised when I inserted a DVD into my freshly formatted system that a message was displayed telling me that I can change the region code of the player 3 further times before it is locked [:0] (This kind of thing really pi$$es me off actually!)

    I have used resetting tools in the past but as I'm generally watching DVD to DIVX/XVID rips these days on the laptop I'm kind of out of touch with what's currently the best solution.

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks in Advance :)

    I've downloaded DVD Genie but it does not reset the region codes for Power DVD :(
