Hi...

We've got a Panasonic dvd player (the S27). It's been through about 4
years of good use, but the last couple of days it's been acting very
strangely. You put in a disk, and as it puts up the progress bar of
reading the directory it gets 1 tick in and then shuts down completely.
Won't power back up unless you unplug it, leave it for 30 seconds, then
plug it back in.

Of course when it comes back up it does the same thing - start reading
the disk, then fritz.

Anything to do with this other than replace it?

Thanks
Mark

Google to the panasonic website. Click on support for the device
type. Find your model number, go to downloads. download the latest
FIRMWARE for your dvd player. You must remember where it was saved to
on the harddrive. I recommend saving to the desk top. burn the saved
file to a blank dvd disk . Then follow installation instuctions for
the firmware upgrade. YOU MUST BE VERY
CAREFUL TO FOLLOW THE INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS TO THE LETTER. HOPE THIS
HELPS.
