My Samsung BDC6900XXA 3D BLUE RAY PLAYER
I have seen this happen before when an update went bad right in the middle of an Internet outage. If you bought this recently, try to return it for a replacement. Otherwise, you will have to contact Samsung's support line to see if there is a Factory hard reset.
Hi,
samsung blu-ray player bd-d6500
There is no current procedure for unlocking the
Blue-ray and it is probably not necessary because over 80% of released
disks are region free anyway. (Just don't ever buy the other 20% and
they will get the message soon enough!)
To change the DVD from region 2 (your current location) to region 9
(region free) follow these steps using the remote control.
1. Ensure that there is no disk in the tray.
2. Switch the player off and then back on. This is necessary to clean-boot the firmware.
3. Wait until the main menu page appears and the player stops doing anything.
4. Press the eject button to open the tray. (The button is between
the "Power" and "TV Power" buttons at the top of the controller.)
5. Press the eject button to close the tray.
6. Wait while the player searches for a disk.
7. As soon as the "No Disk" message appears at the top left corner do the following.
8. Press the REPEAT button - just above the TV channel selector at the bottom right of the controller.
9. Enter 7 6 8 8 4 on the number pad.
10. The region code "4" should appear at the top left corner of the screen.
11. Enter a "9" to make the player region free. (Enter a region code
if you want to lock the player to another region for some obscure or
perverse reason.)
12. Power down and power up again.
13. Play a foreign DVD to verify the change.
Now the tricky bits. This process is timing dependent.
Firstly, you must start entering the code just after the "No Disk"
message is shown and before the message disappears. If you jump the gun
or miss the boat (isn't English great!) it won't work.
Secondly, the REPEAT key is part of the code. All six keys must be
entered smoothly as "REPEAT 7 6 8 8 4". The entry gets timed out so you
can't stop in the middle and restart. Don't bash away like crazy, just
do it smoothly and briskly.
If you don't see the "4" the first time, don't worry. Just repeat the
process. It took me about a dozen tries before I got it to work.
I can't guarantee that this player does not have a region change
counter so I would be a bit careful about changing regions back and
forth. I also can't guarantee that this will work with all released
firmware. Samsung seems to take this crazy region bastardry very
seriously for some reason.
For people from other parts of the world, all region codes are as follows
1 - 2 9 3 3 4
2 - 5 7 5 3 8
3 - 5 6 7 3 2
4 - 7 6 8 8 4
5 - 5 3 8 1 4
6 - 2 4 4 6 2
If you bought your player in the USA or Canada there might be no way to change the region in these countries as the only Samsung BluRay players we've ever heard about being able to be unlocked (and ONLY for DVD region free playback) were sold in places like Australia and maybe Europe.
Hope this was helpful to you.

My Samsung BD-C6900 will not
Hi dcarroll547,
You may find friends that can perform the steps below...
Assuming that the disc is good.
1.Clean the lens. -
Sometimes because of dust the lens can't read any disc. Try clean the lens by
soft cotton buds. Be careful while doing this.
2.Check the ribbon -
Check the ribbon connected to the lens from the main board for scratch, damage. Once it has an
open line then of course the lens can't read the disc. Also try to erase the
contact by pencil eraser. If you've done the steps above and the symptoms still
there then the next step requires you a little knowledge in soldering technique
and reading the ohmmeter.
3.Check the motor - Check
the motor that spin the disc with an ohmmeter. You can test it using the
ohmmeter (x1) even it is connected on the lens assembly.Good motor - reading should be fairly high and it
will spin. Bad motor-
reading will drop to low resistance and will not spin.
Hint : 50% of my repaired
unit the above parts are commonly caused of the problem.
If you confirmed that you have a defective motor then replace it with a new
one. Before replacing the new motor you have to check the clearance of the disc
holder with the old one. The clearance should be the same as the old because if
not the lens will not read the disc if it is too far or too close.
If the above steps didn't cure the problem, high chance that your optical lens
was faulty.
If you can't do the job yourself, I would advice you to look for a
professional to troubleshoot the symptom.
Hope I helped you.
Have a nice day!
Thanks for using Fixya.
