its as simple as flashing the firmware back to its pre-shipping state. i found a firmware for my hitachi-based cendyne 12X drive online, flashed it and VOILA! a rgion-free DVD drive...heh heh! I checked it with DVD Genie and it detects that it can play ALL regions...

Hehe, you are full of tricks, chosen...
