Panasonic LS86 set to region 3.

[wraeththu]

Hello,

I have used a Panasonic LS83 for many years now,it was region free hacked a long time ago with a remote hack.Even though the LS86 & LS83 models are not supplied with a remote control and the sensor window on the front is blocked off white all the guts for remote use are in there.By accident I discovered that the remote control for my old LS5 worked with the LS83.

Anyway here's the issue - bought a LS86 model which looked the same as the LS83.Unboxed it tried to play a region 2 dvd - " This disc cannot be played in your region".Same with region 1 and region 4 discs.It would play region free and DVD-R.Couldn't work it out at all then I noticed on the box "REGION 3".

The hack remote I have used for my LS5 & LS83 does not work.I have contacted a few hack sellers on Ebay but they all say they cannot supply a remote hack to go from region 3 to region free.And one said no remote hack would work as the LS86 has no remote sensor - but it does.Only remote hacks I can find for sale are for going from Region 2 to region free.

Anywhere to go to get a custom made hack remote to go from region 3 starting point ?.
