Pondering (and other things)

[misssara11]

I'm inexcusably behind on responding to comments, which I will get caught up on at some point.

I will post the picture meme stuff. And am willing to do more of those.

I will write the drabbles for Stump the Author as I've been done stumped. Feel free to add to the merriment there.

The main purpose for this however is this: I'm in the market for a portable DVD player. Specifically one that is region-free. I bought a Phillips DCP851 and that was a total bust. It didn't read my Ipod, my burned CDs (of Doctor Who episodes), or my British DVDs. And the picture quality for the discs it could read wasn't all that great. So, any suggestions?

I would like to have this before I go off to California at the end of July for the plane jaunts. (I'm breaking up the flights on purpose, I freak out if I'm stuck on a plane for more that 3 hours, which is why I'll most likely never make it to England.)

Also, I've got the pictures from Friday on to my laptop. Now I need to get them uploaded. There's 392 pictures and videos. So, it might take a bit.

1 Power on DVD without a disc in the player
2 Press SETUP on the remote
3 Press 'Right Arrow' on the remote 3 times
4 Press 9, 6, 5 & 3 on the remote
5 Press up/down to change region of player. Set to 0 (zero) for region-free
6 Press SETP to exit

I've made a Philips region free before. You might try this "hack". I did a search for your model name and then region free and this came up. *fingers crossed*

My home one is a Phillips and I hacked that. That's why this one was such a disappointment. I have this one packed up to send back. Maybe I'll give it another shot. Thanks for you help!

ETA: I just noticed your icon. LOVE IT!

I hope the new hack works! I've had really good lucky finding unlock codes for my players.

I ♥ Tosh! She is made of The Awesome.

The hack works! Thank you so much!

And yes, the lack of Tosh (and Owen) makes me not want to watch the new season.

Yay! My Tosh skillz have come through again! I'm glad it worked.

I figure the new season is just five hours so I'll watch it. I don't expect to be emotionally involved like the other seasons.
