Hi there, i'm new to this site, only just registered, can anyone please give me some advice ?? Have had a pioneer AO3 dvd writer for about 4 months, have backed up about 6 dvd's with it, as u can c i hardly use it, have a seperate cd rom, so i don't use the dvd writer very much, not even as a reader. Recently my mate lent me some of his dvd's, i didn't realise they were American, my son uses my pc and watches the dvd's, the pioneer AO3 locked out, another mate of mine sent me this site and from here i found the latest firmware upgrade for my dvd writer, which unlocked the writer. About 4 weeks ago the AO3 stopped working completely, it would light up as normal, but would not read n e type of disc inserted into it. Sent the writer back to pioneer, they didn't want to know as i upgraded the firmware, and they said it was a hacked version of the firmware which included a region free hack, which was not stated on the site i d/loaded the upgrade from. Where do i go from here ??????

Many Thanx

Mark
