Page 1 of LG DVD5083

Anyone out there know of a hack for above player. Bought it at Currys bundled with 10 Warner DVD films for £169.00.
I`ve tried the hack for the other LG players but can`t seem to get it to work (yet). I think this is a brand new model from LG.

If you find a MR or VCD hack for this player, could you please let me know?

Many thanks,

Jim Pomphrey

Found a VCD hack:

Press pause with cd tray empty
then "1 4 7 2"
Blue screen should appear on tv

press up 3 times

then press 5, 6 and code 4fe should be on screen

then press enter and then return

switch power off then back on and it should play vcd


Still looking for multiregion hack though.

Cheers,

Jim.

tried the hack above but found that when you press in the 5,6 picture went black&white, but at that point if you press program 6 program 5 then enter then return then press power on/off this works ok!!!

Also bought said same package but found now worldly hack for the dv5083 YET!

Found a reset hack to defaults (or as it was before your first powered it up). here goes....

Firmware Check:

1. Press Setup button on the remote control.
2. Select TV Aspect.
3. Place the cursor on 16:9 wide.
4. Using the remote control, key in the following: 1, 3, 9, 7, 1, 3, 9.
5. Press Enter on the remote control.
6. Press "SETUP" to clear the information once read.

Sorry but my information is that none of the new models of LG DVD Player accept the old hack - this includes the 5083 & 5095.

Apparently there are rumours of an upgrade CD that can make the machines multi-region but I havn`t been able to track one down.

Having just purchased a 5095 that is supposed to be multi-region from `Unbeatable` I am awaiting their attempts to get such a CD from LG themselves. If not they will be refunding me as they advertised it as multi-region hoping the old hack worked - oops.

Hi Jim,
Thanks for the VCD hack. It workes but I must have changed another prom number by mistake and I`ve ended up with a green screen. Do you know what the original ones should be as they don`t change when I do the factory reset.
Thanks.

Hi my name is Dan.
I`ve also wound up with a green screen. Did you or anyone else work out a solution to get it back to the original screen colour etc.
I would appreciate yours or anyone else`s help with this.

Cheers

Dan
