Sony s300 Update Gone Wrong

[jlab89]

So my parents bought a blu ray player and didn't use it until 8 months later. When they try to play a movie it doesn't work and they find out they need to update the firmware. So they download the file but when the player is updating they think it isn't doing anything so they take out the disk and turn it off.

Now the thing says Need Disk - Incomplete whenever it is turned on. They were updating it to version 4.5 when that was new. I made the 4.9 disk and have tried everything to try and get some response.

They apparently called Sony and they said that it would have to be repaired. My parents got a new player since the repairs would cost more than the new player, so I have this thing to play with.

Does anyone have any ideas, besides I'm screwed , in order to fix this machine. I can take it apart or whatever you want, because this thing is just a giant paperweight right now.
