Flash it again ???

I think the problem is the player will be completely dead.

Seems as if it must have lost power during the flash upgrade, jocoman, which basically passes a death sentence on your player. Sadly, you will have a trashed EEPROM. Assuming you have a socketted EEPROM rather than a soldered one, you will need to get it re-programmed externally using a proper EPROM programmer - as you have a disc with the firmware file, that should be sufficient.

See here for a list of folks who'll do it for you

The Sanyo is a DVD player not a computer - please see my post above yours which explains the reason why his player has conked out.
