The Firmware Page

Hi there,

I tried to make my GH22NS40 region code free and flashed it with this firmware (GH22NS40_NL01(EW)). The firmware update was successfully. However, Drive Region Info still shows me that the drive is region code protected, and increments the counter when playing a DVD.

Could anyone give me a tip? I do have DVDs from different countries since I've been abroad for quite a while. Therefore, I'd really appreciate any help.

Cheers,
Marc

I'd like to have the GH22NS40 region code free, but I can't find a patched firmware.
