I've got a philips bdp3000/05 and last night it just stopped being usable. Ablue screen pops up and usually it has a menu on it but now it's just a blue screen, no menu, no nothing. I don't really want to throw money at a new player if this can be sorted.
If any of you can help with suggestions as to how to fix it I'd be gratefull.

[The Deadly]

Try hitting it. If that doesn't work then shout at it.

[DevilsDuck]

Have you tried turning it off and back on again?

[a-moron]

Have you tried putting some filthy porn in? Usually helps purge my hard-drive and resets my default software.

[slaphead1982]

New player it is then if that's the suggestions I'm getting.

[a-moron]

Blue screens of death usually signal a cure more expensive than a new player. Well that's not entirely true but you know what I mean.

[R94N]

I'd just take it back as being faulty. Not sure whether you could have the same problem with a different player.

[foot-loose]

Can you upgrade the firmware somehow? Either by USB or disk? I suspect Google will be your friend in this quest.

[a-moron]

Nope. Google was designed as the information go to for all man's masturbatory purposes. Not for fixing shit.
Don't sully Google's name foots.
(Sheesh, he's only been back a minute.)

he's been away for months and this is the first post made?!?!

[foot-loose]

2nd. The first was gay related. Not that I pander to stereotypes.

There's way too much to read back through all the old threads - might as well just pick up as though I've not been away.

[R94N]

The main thing you've missed is the rise of chrisjames. Maybe in more ways than one.

[foot-loose]

I vaguely remember him. What went down?

[The Deadly]

I don't know who you are Foot-loose but I like the cut of your jib. A love a good jib.

People complained about his stupid posts and he said he would leave, but the announcement that the show is ending brought him running back. He continued posting crap and people were getting really irritated, to the point that Chris (Harris) stepped in to warn people off bullying him, as he wasn't technically breaking any forum rules. But then he kept posting repeat questions in Ask Aled about the end date of the show etc, and I issued him a warning against harassing Aled (since the announcement, poor Aled is dealing with a ton of that sort of thing, which he obviously hasn't been in a position to answer). At which point CJ stropped off and said he was leaving, again.

[The Deadly]

If you say his name 3 times he appears. He's like a really crap Candyman.

I miss Internet forum drama.

You've made me chuckle a few times while catching up so I'll make the leap that you're an alright fella. Howdy

I was completely accurate with this comment too. He's resurfaced.

Oh no... Are you okay Deadly

[The Deadly]

I'm fine. I welcome him back with open arms and feel he enhances our lives.

[a-moron]

Deadly's a shitebag.

Or are the open arms just a rouse to lull him into a scoop slam?

[The Deadly]

I'm going to get him in the full Nelson anal penetrator.

[DevilsDuck]

CJ or foots?
