Changing DVD region difficulties

Carsinian Thau · 2008-11-02 19:23:53

The DVD drive is a Matsh*ta DVD-RAM UJ-850S. *=i (It won't display the full word because a particular combination of letters is in the middle). The computer says that there is one change left…

I'm currently trying to change the DVD region on a laptop back to region 2. It's only ever been changed once before (to region 1).
The DVD drive is a Matsh*ta DVD-RAM UJ-850S. *=i (It won't display the full word because a particular combination of letters is in the middle).
The computer says that there is one change left but when I try and change it, it says something about needing media from region 2 and then refuses to change.
Anyone have any ideas as to what I need to do to get it to work (aside from going to plan B and buying an external drive).
