My P703 used 13798888, not the reported 13698888 I have tried this and it works. They maybe Different based on when player was made. I tried BOTH, but could only get 13798888 to work. W@RF | |||

13698888 works for me although when you recheck the set up menu region still shows as GB. | |||

Just purchased a Ronin P703. Tried all the above hacks incl the upload file and none of them worked... You can pop up the screen showing the region but cannot access any of it. On the back it gives a serial and what looks like a revision p803033201575 v2.2 manufactured in Aug2003 Any ideas? | |||

There is a new seperate software hack on http://roninhacks.shacknet.nu/dvdhacks.jsp?manufctrer=ronin This is specifically for serial numbers starting P803... and of later manufacture (mine is August 2003 according to the box) Worked ok for me after trying everything else unsuccessfully | |||

The P703 can be hacked by using a CD from the link Bowman and Cleric provided. http://roninhacks.shacknet.nu/dvdhacks.jsp?manufctrer=ronin No codes seam to work on the August 2003 version of this player. I've bought a few and the others were fine, but this one needs a software change. Download the image and burn exactly as it tells you in the instructions. Look at the 'P703 Serial number starting with "p803..."'. This is the new section and the hacks above wont work. I've spent far too long trying to hack this but its working now. Happy region free playing everyone, Angel | |||

I have carried out a sucessful Multiregion hack on two of these machines recently. The first on a player which was made in May 2003 was carried out with the simple code and remote control method. The second player, which was made in August 2003 has a serial number commencing P803 and needed the firmware upgrade detailed via the http://roninhacks.shacknet.nu link. Follow the instructions exactly but dont be put off by the randomly generated extension to the file displayed on the setup screen. The correct extension is 'BIN' and this should be used when you rename the downloaded file. | |||

I bought a P703, the box claims that it was manufactured August 03. It didn't respond to the two handset hacks. I downloaded the firmware upgrade and burnt it to CD. That did seem to do the trick it would read both the region 1 and 2 disks that I had in the house. However, I noticed that the region 2 rental copy of "the others" that I rented from the library played, but the screen kept going light and dark throughout the film rendering it pretty much unwatchable. I borrowed a retail region 2 copy of "Lord of the rings" from a neighbour and that played fine. So I put the problem with "the others" down to it being a duff copy. I then rented a rental region 2 version of "Curse of the black pearl" and it was back to doing the light and dark thing on screen again. The setup that I have it set up to is a phillips TV/Video combo via scart (with a freeview box hooked up to the Combo unit via the rf cable). Both DVDs that I had a problem with work fine on my laptop. Is this irritating light/dark thing caused by the firmware upgrade, the setup with the TV/Video combo, some sort of issue with the encoding of rental DVDs or a faulty DVD player? Anyone else getting similar problems? | |||

I went to http://roninhacks.shacknet.nu/ronin.htm and upgraded my P703 player's firmware. It worked right to the very end, when it suddenly froze and stopped working. Now when I switch it back on nothing happens. Basically my player is screwed up. So, my advice: first try all the normal methods for upgrading your player to multiregion. If they work that's great. If they don't work then think very carefully before upgrading the firmware, or you could just end up with a useless player like mine :( Best of luck! Samar | |||
