Could it be a faulty drive? (i.e. bodged eeprom etc?)

I was only saying; so much for my attempt at getting F&F in HD legitimately... Stupid content protection systems! They make life hard for the paying customers, and are easy to circumnavigate for the HAX0Rs.

Depends if you're after performance or price? The WD Caviar Black drives are the enthusiast ones, Caviar Blue are for non-enthusiasts... I bought a 1TB Caviar black about 2-3months ago, and have found my lower-spec'd system (with the Caviar Black in) boots quicker than my gaming rig with a...

Nice find - don't think I've seen this before (but have seen a few of the mods). My favourite:

Aye... So much for me going via the legit route...

Any more ideas? My head is literally turning red!

Done and done I'm afriad... Not an import - region 2 straight from play.com Any more ideas? I've spend the last 5hrs hastling over this - stupid technology!!! (and there was me thinking I could fix any problem)

AnyDVDHD sheds some light: "Drive's signature of the Dv value is incorrect" Sadly, google doesn't seem to have any solutions. Any ideas?

I forgot to add - these are the first blu-rays I've tried playing on my BD-ROM, however I know DVDs play fine.

Might do - I have installed a full version of PowerDVD Ultra 9 - which is meant to support Blu-ray... If you've got a "special" one, please PM me if it can't be public ;) Cheers, James P.S. Tried AnyDVDHD to no avail...

Basically, I can't seem to get my new F&F blu-rays to play on my PC. I've tried PowerDVD Ultra and Arcsoft TotalMedia Theatre. I've tried the drive in 2 PCs Whilst I can see the disc name etc in the drive (and can look at the files), I can't get them to play (if i open the drive in either of...

Haha, sorry - I didn't bother to look under your name (just looked in location, to see something along the lines of "In the Boooost") Bit of a drive then! If you've got any tips you wish to share regarding ZS ownership, I'm all ears :rasp: Cheers, James

Nice car mate, Was thinking about strips myself after seeing this on ZCOC: http://www.zsoc.com/forum/showthread.php?t=160857 I quite like the orange on black, however my friend recons it'd be chavvy so I'm not gonna do that (for now)... Where about are you based mate? Anywhere near me? (Buxton)

lol, brilliant

Had a cable tidying sesh today... thought I would share :P Before After It's not perfect cable tidy wise - imo, however it is the best I'm going to manage in this case, as there is no rear-panel access (i.e. all cables have to be routed on the front of the mobo tray. Specs...

I too have done this - and yes, IMMENSE! Even though I hate apple, I realised there is no alternative (since the Devs backed the iPhone) and I had to get the best... granted not the 32GB, but 16GB will be plenty for me. I find myself mostly on Wi-Fi and BTOpenZone atm, however I'm sure...

Give this: http://3xs.scan.co.uk/ a go, Alternatively, try http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/pc/gaming/ Either should give you a reasonable bit of kit for £1k I'll have a proper look tomorrow - won't tonight as I'm trying to get into a decent sleep routine :P

Our O2 store in buxton has "Contract" iphones but not PAYG (according to them)... Might be worth ringing before travelling down if you're desperate? :P

Good idea - it is quite a drive to mine afterall... And thanks - I may just take you up on that offer in the distant future :P I'll keep an eye out for deals. May be worth waiting a short while as the Core i5 cpu has only just been released - cheaper parts may become available soon (including...

If you wanted to build it yourself, *potentially* you could order all the bits, then bring them over to me & we could put them together - in exchange you could take my out in the '200, as I've yet to go out in a 'Sport... potentially being a big word - as I'm about to start a new job, so it'd...

I've built plenty of PCs (in fact I am a reviewer at a computer review website). I could give you verbal/MSN instruction if you wanted, but as I say it's probably better if you've got a pro doing it with you. If you don't want to build it yourself, something like this...

This man speaks sense. Other places to look at are Scan.co.uk.... and..... well I can't think of any others atm... but scan are brilliant - massive company, good warranty/RMA service. I'll pick one out for you... if you tell me what you plan to use it for? (i.e. you play games, but also do...

I cba looking at the others, but that one rdmsport has pointed out is horribly overpriced... Thought about building one yourself? You can still get VAT back on bits, and theres loads of help to be had (here + other forums/mates). PM me if you want some help

But sadly (as we all knew) requires a Spotify Pro account... Still - good news for all iPhone users, as it gives you a cheapish alternative to paying for each song, and instead paying iirc £9.99 per month. Thats like 2 albums cost, for a massive song database.... ;) Jim

Anyone know if it's possible to view the vids which youtube doesn't allow (e.g. Music vids which you can view on UK youtube on your PC, but can't on youtube mobile)? Cheers, James

Find out if your home insurance covers you (most just charge excess of £100).

Sorry, it just pishes me off that apple can charge so much! (being someone who fell for the iphones multi-platform-ness & bought a 3gs only 2 weeks ago) And even with a GPS enhancer or whatever in the dock, I still recon you're best off buying a TomTom One for £100 rather than buying the...

Congrats on recovering it... It's made by apple - expect there to be problems & times when it will only brandish the Apple logo rather than being useful :P (Says someone who's embarrassed that they bought the iPhone - because they hate apple, but love the whole hackability of the iPhone)

I knows - but I figured theres bound to be people in GC who want to move to the Photography Section, but need the hardware first ;)

Well, cheapish - e.g. Canon 1000D for £360 + postage I noticed the deal on AV forums but thought I'd post it up here as theres a bunch of photographers here :rasp: (I hope it's ok in the GC) Discount code: 10SLR Gives 10% off...
