DVD HACKS (not region codes : ) )

[magic_mat]

Hi all
I have a farly new dvd player but the other week it died. I check every thing even the fuses and stuff inside! So i took out all the boards and stuff. Is there any thing i could do with the drive or board with all the video and audio conectors? Wire it up to a hard drive or something? (were you can play mpegs and pics on your tv , it has been done!)

Is there anything i can do with it?

Thanks alot
Matthew

If it is just the dvd drive that is dead then it is possible to replace that with a hard drive (depending on the model, and if it uses the right interace)..

but you would need a cd to flash the bios on, for a hard drive to function...

So I dont know if you can do much, unless it is some other problem (psu, etc.)

the dvd player just doesnt power on at all!
do you know any player that supports hard drives? I dont mean ones actualy made so you can add a hard drive i mean were you have to undo it and hack it your self.
