Has Anyone's Region-Free BD Player Ever Gotten Stuck On One Region?

[Member-222782]

My modded Oppo UDP-203 once became stuck on Region B and wouldn't budge no matter what I tried. I entered the modification procedure multiple times - nothing. Turned the player on and off several times - nothing. I actually don't remember how it went back to working normally but I do recall the frustration I endured since it was my only player at the time. This time the issue is the player apparently plays all-region discs without entering a code, which sounds like a dream come true but it's actually not since certain Blu-rays won't play at all.

I tried the recent Arrow BD of City of the Living Dead and a Region A Blue Underground BD - both played flawlessly without changing region codes. Tried to spin my copy of Cult Films' Il Postino (Region B locked) and it wouldn't play.

Anyone else experience this problem?
