Page 1 of WANTED Multi Region Genius,

I have a Advent 7361 notebook/laptop computer with built in DVD and I would like to make it into a multi region player. Is this possible? How can it be done? I`ve looked on the web but can`t find anything specific. Your help would be much appreciated.

Im no Genius - However most PC/Notebook DVD players can be made mulitregion. If the drive has been locked to a specific region youll need to get hold of some modified firmware, similar to a bios on your pc.

Best bet is to find out who manufactures the DVD in your machine.

Hope this helps a little

usually you can change it by going into your dvd cinema player and altering the region no. but it usually only lets you change it 5 times then it stays on this region

Yes Laptops and Pc usually have a locking after a set number of Region changes, There are utilities that will set the region automatically so fooling the system, I have used it on my Twinhead for DVD and it has not run out of changes this way.
DVD Genie is a good one, there is a utility on the same web site in fact a number of them that will check if your drive is locked and what current region you are set to. DO a search for DVD Genie to find it, it runs whenever your DVD player is started i use Powerdvd and WinDVD both are great players. And it works with them ok.

Hope this extra info helps.
