Any reasons this could be? Should I try to reset the player to factory, or would have screw things up? Any help would be great, I'm not particularly tech savvy.

Was the player physically modified? have you installed official firmware recently?

From what I remember such mods require the user to select the region before turning the player on, so (I think) turn the player on with the coloured buttons.
