Try one of the Hack Forums out there, such as....

I found this advice for hacking that model, but no idea if it works...

Here is the Hack

1. Remove Disc from Tray.
2. Switch Off Player
3. Wait 30 Seconds, Then Reconnect Mains.
4. Turn On player with Remote Control. Wait for player to Finish Loading and Display 'No Disc'.
5. Press Enter on Remote Control. (There will be No On-Screen Response.)
6. Press 8, 4, 2, 6, 9 on the remote. (There will be No On-screen Response.)
7. Press Enter on the Remote Control. Player will Automatically Turn Off.
8. Turn Player On.
9. Open Tray
10.Close tray.
11.Turn Player Off then On Again.
12.Player is Now Region Free.

Hope this works for you..... but if not keep looking as there are lots of sites and hacks out there for doing many things!.... I last needed one of these sites to reset the security facility on my Mum's TV set (She'd had it unplugged, then asked for the access code, which she got wrong 4 times and the set was disabled!...... Saved £60 call-out fee!!!)

Good Luck!
