I sell these machines on a daily basis and have tried the hacks suggested on this forum to no avail. Are there any other hacks which may work???

No-one has found a hack yet ... it can be chipped for auto region and macro off

I think there must be two versions of this player the hack i put in was the one were you press zoom a-b etc i then lent a region 1 disc inserted in the dvd drive and it played perfectly i tried a few more region 1 discs and they all played fine.The region 1 movies i watched were
THE SKULLS
ONE NIGHT AT MCOOLS
SCARY MOVIE
They must br region 1 discs because the fbi disclaimer appeared at the start of every disc.

i don`t think there is a quick way or a slow way to input the hack for the pacific dvd player the only hint i can give you is that i tried it twice and it worked.

I put the hack in and left it for a bit because i did not have a region1 disc.A mate from work then lent me about 10 region 1 discs i placed one in the dvd drive crossed my fingers and the fbi disclaimer appeared and independance day started. the only thing i had to do is go in to the setup and set it to ntsc i then sat back to watch a great movie.

Sounds like there are indeed more than one version of this player .... johnh could confirm this by looking at his main board to see if it matches these pictures of the Pacific 1000 we have seen which was not hackable

I suspect his board wont look like this and he will have two large plug in firmware chips that the version we have seen did not
