Error 404

Update! I have upload the firmware files on FileDen (never used it before, someone suggested it though - thanks Alex!). The firmware can be found at: http://www.fileden.com/files/2009/10/26/2621437/lgdr787tupdatefile.zip . Happy downloading, and I hope your player has a longer life than mine! For those following the LG DR787T saga , I have recently thrown my unit away. It wouldn't read anything, so I decided to go buy a $30 DVD player (which, by the way, is working wonderfully). Yes, I still have the firmware files. For those of you who want to try to fix your units and need the files, feel free to send me an email. I am thinking about uploading them to a free hosting site somewhere, but unless the demand increases it just wouldn't be worth the time to set it up. I have set up an account, see the above update for a link! It amazes me that a DVD player would work one day, and the next day stop working. Why? Poor manufacturing? Bad luck? My dog peed on it without me noticing? ...

Update 2: I have uploaded a copy of the LG firmware files to fileden; they can be downloaded from http://www.fileden.com/files/2009/10/26/2621437/lgdr787tupdatefile.zip Update: I have thrown away my dvd player . So if you read my last post , you would know that I was having problems playing The Dark Knight DVD on my new (used) LG DR787T DVD Recorder/Player. I would put the disc in and the player wouldn't load. After talking to tech support and hearing that they don't know what is wrong and they can't help me, I decided to try the firmware upgrade that LG had on their support website. It was listed as adding Parental Control capabilities, but I figured maybe they threw in some other fixes as well. Sure enough, after I installed the new firmware, The Dark Knight was playing perfectly! Here is what to do: Go to LG's support website Enter the model number DR787T Next to "[USA Only] Parental Update for RC797T & DR787T Video Players", download "2_Software...

UPDATE: I found a solution to this problem So I talk to an LG representative today about my new (new-to-me) LG DR787T DVD recorder. I just got it (for only $20 on ebay, what a steal!) and was going to test it out by watching The Dark Knight. Pop in the disc, and it doesn't work. Won't load. I look around, and it seems other people are having similar issues, so I decide to do my civic duty and let LG know they have a problem to deal with. Bria : Hello Matt Kokotovich . Welcome to LG Electronics! How may I provide you with excellent service today? Matt Kokotovich : I have the LG DR787t and it won't play The Dark Knight DVD. Are you aware of this issue and is there a fix being planned? (long gap here) Matt Kokotovich : Hello? Bria : I would like to please place you on a brief hold while I research that for you, will that be alright? Matt Kokotovich : Sure, thanks Bria : Hello....yes one moment Bria : Thank you for holding. Are you playing blu ray or HD in the player? (I be...
