Satellite L310-D4011: How to reset the DVD Region setting to 0?

Dear All,
I have a Satellite L310 D4011 machine which I recently purchased in which I installed a DVD player software.
I run WinXP. A friend of mine played a music video from UK (Mccartney Live in Red Square) in the DVD player and the original region setting which was at 0 with 5 changes remaining, has gone to 4 changes remaining and the region is now set at 2. I am in India where the region for DVD is 5. If I change to 5, I lose another change option.
I do not want to let my DVD ROM get stuck at 0 options left and in some other region.
Can anyone give me an advice to reset the region back to Zero with five options remaining - the way it was when I bought the laptop?
I shall be extremely grateful. Will the vendor from whom I purchased the laptop be able to set it back to factory setting?
Best wishes

Hello
In my opinion Toshiba has nothing to do with it. To protect movie industry and their interests all notebook manufacturers offer optical disc drives where you can watch movies with different country code but 5 times only. The last chosen region code will be set as default. So if you have 4 more codes there is no reason for panic. Just continue to watch movies from your favourite region area.
I am 100% sure that Toshiba service or vendor where you purchased your notebook will say that they have nothing to do with it. In drive properties you have clear statement how it works.
Anyway you can try to contact them and ask for help.

  • Satellite Pro 4260: How to remove the DVD drive?

    I have a Satellite Pro 4260 and it appears that the DVD drive is broken and I want to replace it. I cannot figure out how to remove the old one.
    Does anyone know how? Is there a manual available showing how?
    Thanks

    Hi
    This notebook is not know to me but a checked some sites in the net and it seems that the top cover must be removed.
    Then lift up the CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive to disconnect PJ700 on the CD-ROM/DVD board from PJ15 on the system board.
    Remove two screws securing the CD-ROM/DVD-ROM connector board.
    Separate the CD-ROM/DVD-ROM connector board and CD-ROM/DVD-ROM connector brace from the CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive
    Well, I think its not easy for someone with no experience.
    Therefore if you dont know how to do it and you have no much experience you should ask someone how knows what to do ;)

  • Qosmio G20: How to change the DVD region code?

    My DVD is locked into region 1 is there anyway to fix this because I need it to be on region 2.
    I have been using it on the correct region which is 2 but for some unknown reason it has locked onto region 1 not allowing me to make any changes.

    Jeffrey speaks well.
    However, you must to right click My Computer -> property -> hardware -> device manager ->
    dvd/cdrom drivers -> double/click your drive -> dvd region/tab and if you have some
    remained possibilities, you can choose region 2.
    Bye

  • HT2397 how do I reset my dvd region when its locked?

    I recently used up my 5 changes of the dvd region without realising( i stupidly thought it would warn me) and now my imac is locked in region 1 when i live in region 2.
    if i restored my computer would i get to reset the dvd region again?
    or does anyone know an easier way to overcome this?
    thanks

    Regretably, there's no practical way to do it. Erasing and re-installing the software won't work as the counter is carried in the drive's firmware.
    Apparently there is a way to flash the firmware on some models, but that's pretty risky even if it works.

  • Qosmio G30: Cannot chang the DVD region settings

    I have a G30 and appear to have reset the dvd region using Qosmio rather than Windows MC.
    When I try to reset the dvd region (back to region 2) Windows MC says there is one change remaining but then does not let me change, advising me that I have the incorrect region media in the drive (I don't)or I do not have administrator rights (I do).

    Where did you check the drive region settings?
    Did you check it in the drive properties or somewhere else?
    In my opinion you have already used all region change attempts and the changing is no more possible.

  • Satellite Pro A120: How to remove the CD/DVD drive

    I have 2 main problems and can't seems to fully open case.
    Does anyone know how to remove the dvd-rom?
    But my mainproblem is the power swith ribbon (blue) has come loose from the motherboard. But as i can't fully open the case im using tweezers to try to recconect it.
    Doesn't seem to want to go in.
    Is there a clip on the motherboard connector or is it just push in? A photo or diagram would be useful.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    thanks

    One question; why do you do this?
    I mean why your want to open the notebook?
    Fact is that the Pro A120 Satellite is not a old notebook and I presume the warranty is valid.
    If you remove the notebook covers you will lose the warranty!!!
    The CD/DVD removing is very easy.
    Usually it is secured with one screw which can be found at the bottom of the unit. You have to remove it firstly and then it should be able to take off the ODD.

  • How to reset the password in macbook Pro? This is not related to apple id

    Hi,
    I gave my macbook pro for service. Initially there was no password set up in the system. However the service guys have put some password to install the applications. (This is not related to apple id and apple store apps). Can you please help how to reset the password?
    Regards,

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    As you have OS X Mountain Lion, try resetting the password from Recovery > http://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4101
    It looks like OS X was reinstalled. After resetting the password, you will be able to log in and use your MacBook Pro

    I can not get NFL Game Pass or Siri to work???

    Well you can plug it into itunes and under summary tab hit RESTORE. This should fix any software issues that you may be experiencing. About gamepass, I dont know, I dont have it. Siri is not on the IPAD2. Only on the 3rd generation Ipad, so you wont have it(going by ipad2 under your name).

  • How to reset the response status and response header

    Dear Masters
    Actually we are using NTLM Authentication process to get the system login id for our web application. The problem which I am getting is after running the NTLM Authentication Code I am not able to call the action class. It is telling 400 Server error bad request. I am using Struts Dispatch Action Class. In Dispatch Action I will be passing a name (eg. method) as a parameter in struts-config.xml file and using that parameter I will be calling the respective method in the Action class. The problem which I am facing is after running the authentication code I am not able to fire the action class. It is telling the error in the console as "parameter named method is not found". Actually in NTLM Authentication code they are setiing the response status to www-authenticate,NTLM. If I reset the response status back to the normal form I think i will be able to fire the action class. Please give me a suggestion on how to reset the response status and response header back to the normal form. Any solution to this is appreciated. Please respond your reply as soon as possible. Thanks in advance.
    Regards

  • How to reset the military usage value in GTS Business partner

    Hello Experts,
    Does anyone know how to reset the Military usage value='2' to blank on the Business partner within GTS?
    I tried putting a blank there, clicking on the accept entries button followed by  saving the Business partner.
    It does not seem to work this way.
    Does anyone know if it's SAP bug for not having blank as one of the allowable values for the usage except when it's that way while newly created?
    The GTS implementation details are as follows:
    Any help with regard to this will be much appreciated......
    Thanks,
    Prashant.

    Prashant,
    As I already informed you, it is not possible to re-set the indicator to <blank>.
    From the program code, I can see that the usage indicator is only transferred from the feeder system during the creation of a customer partner.  The value in GTS is set either to '1' or '2' during creation, and cannot be changed by any subsequent data transfer from the feeder system.
    I think that logic is related to the fact that usage records may be created for multiple Legal Regulations, and those records may then be changed individually by the user in GTS.  On that basis, it would not be reasonable to over-write the values by re-transferring the customer from the feeder system.
    Regards,
    Dave
