    Well I've just received an email saying that the problem is likely to be the disc, and all the disc issues experienced are due to the manufacturing process & can only be fixed with a firmware update. In fact they are "99% it's not the disc reader"!! 

    Well, I politely disagreed, and pointed out that if it is the disc, why does it play fine in other players? And if I have to rely on a firmware update every time I buy a new disc, how long until my player is nothing but a paperweight? 

    I then pointed out that the only fix, both here and overseas, has been to replace the optical reader. I really want to punch someone right now. 

    I sent another email to Interdyn saying their previous two fixes still hadn't solved the problem and they haven't even replied. They are hopeless.

    From the many emails I sent them with all the issues, I'm disappointed that they didn't replace the optical reader as you mention. Looks like they've gone for the cheapest fix first. 

    That's what I think  too seeing in my emails I sent them links to quotes that said how Oppo had fixed the problem overseas yet everything they did here didn't fix a thing.

  3. I've had to send my Oppo back to Interdyn because I started getting many 4k discs constantly glitching yet they worked fine in my Panasonic.

     

    First time they replaced the main board and that didn't help so they then replaced the loader.

     

    From what I read on the AVS forums Oppo overseas always replaced the optical reader and that fixed their problem.

    So I just updated to latest firmware via USB.

    Previously, of the 4 latest 4k discs I'd tried, 2 worked and 2 would not. They'd spin up for over 60 seconds, then come up as unknown disc. 

    Of the 2 not working, one now plays (Black Panther), the other still does not (Avengers Infinity Wars). 

    Now though, instead of spinning up as Unknown Disc, it freezes the player, and I get a blue screen and have to turn Oppo off and on again. 

    Ironically, all discs work perfectly on my much much much cheaper Sony UBP-X700 that's in the lounge room ?

    Packing this up tonight, this thing is a lemon.

    So disappointed after having a 105D that worked perfectly. 

    Anyone know if I need to send it back with power cord? (I'm thinking no)

    Did you reset factory defaults and also try erasing persistent storage:?

  5. Pretty sure it's well known and I know Sony mention it and have a few features that try to stop it. Things like pixel shift and doing a screen rinse when it's been off for a while. It also asks you to do a screen refresh after every x amount of hours. They can also be done manually but they recommend not doing more than two a year I think.

     

    If someone left it on CNN or any other 24x7 channel with watermarks like that on it all day they deserve burn in IMO.
