is there a possibility to unlock dvd drive, to play dvds from different regions? i have MBP 17" which came from states. the drive is locked to region 1. as i live in UK, i need to unlock the drive, to play disks issued in UK, or should i say region 2.

i have tried two different programs, one of them is called regionx

Depends upon the Drive

make model... It is a hardware issue the region change count/setting is kept in the firmware for the drive, even reinstalling your OS will not change it. The restriction is demanded by DVD copyright owners, just like standalone/external DVD players (which in many cases can't be changed).

There arefirmware hacks for some drives out there,

APPLE may/can reset it in a situation like yours as I understand it "certified techs" can reset the firmware about three times... your purchase/move of the computer may qualify... don't know if it would be free or not.

USE VLC or a third party DVD player app.

If this answer was helpful please remember to mark it accepted.

Good Luck,

it is an older MBP A1151. i have obtained it from States abot half a year ago. have done it up a bit and now im just sorting a little things... i have not tried to take it to Apple,yet. am trying to leave it as last resort. what i did, i have installed several utilities to allow to change the drive region code, none of them worked...

dont know the make and model of the drive, as soon as i get a little time, i will find out this.

thank you for sugestions...

Use Utilities->System Profiler->ATA to find make and model.

The movie industry and Apple are committing a CRIME, not people trying to use what they bought with money which can be spent in every Region of the world (and what the heck is a Region, anyway? We don't speak you language).

I buy a DVD, I own it, I buy a laptop, I want to use it when I travel. I think people should force the law to change in their favor, not in the favor of @%^$$@$#.

I am an international consult and travel to many countries. I paid for every DVD I have. You corporate criminals out there have fraudulently taken my money and will not allow me to use what I rightfully paid for. Shame on you, your day will come. And you wonder why people pirate your products. Idiots!
