I'm in tears reading this. I don't believe it's possible for a DVD player's BIOS to be flashed without knowing the specific make and model. BIOS flash routines are written for specific hardware. Unless the "dirty" DVD had code to flash this Toshiha DVD player BIOS it's quite impossible. Now if it came out of the box that way it may be a practical joke from a disgruntled employee, specifically the guy blasting the BIOS's. That's just my two cents. Anyone else?
