i have exactly the same problem here and till now im still desperate to find an answer. Im not lossing any hope still that that this kind of cd drive can be crack and be a region free drive.
To
Chick_Hearn; Not all stuff that has "Made in Japan" is really are from Japan nor USA so to speak. Philippines is not a manufacture of electronics products or should i say chipsets but they are mainly one of few countrys that assembles these things to make a machine. Why is it that such company like Sony, Panasonic, Intel, Toshiba, to name a few, choose this
funny place to make their products? We really cant tell.
If have further questions about quality and stuff, you better as the manufacturer themselves and dont blame it to the country who works on it.
After all Philippines is not a funny place.
