After cracking it, it did work Ok, originals and copies played no problems.

It's only in the last month as it started to go funny.

I've cleaned the lens,discs,but still it won't play orignal dvd film,if i copy it, then it plays.

I suspected the region was at fault, but after checking, it says region free.

So why don't orignal dvd play, but a copied one of same film will play???

Because "hacking"it screwed up something in the firmware. Like Varnull said, buy a new one. This is helpful !


BTW, telling the truth, albeit not necessarily what you want to hear is stil considered helpful by many.
