Don't do it!!
I guess you live & learn.
Another site said it was possible so i tried it - BIG mistake.
It loaded the firmware ok, but after re-starting it failed to output any video feed. The worse part is that it also now fails to recognise a firmware disc - says "no disc". Tried a dvd movie, & that actually played - could hear sound, but it's obviously screwed it, becuase the whole front panel locks out after a few minutes.
So i am in fact left with a heap of rubbish. It's my own fault, but i wish people didnt post stuff that clearly isnt true.
I am also supprised that it has screwed the player up so badly that it cant even recognise a firmware disc - you would have kind of thought that there would have been some sort of built in fail-safe to stop people from loading a firmware that would cause the unit to fail. I would add that both the three Samsung US & UK firmware files are named exactly the same - there isnt anything to say US or UK, so i am wondering how many people will do this accidentally anyway. Probably not many, but to be honest, one is enough.
So i'm going to go away now and cry for a bit.....
