Samsung BD-P1500. Firmare update problems

Samsung BD-P1500. It wouldn't play a recently released Blu ray disc. Inside the disc packaging there was a note saying that an update may be necessary. I downloaded the update from the Samusung site, but it seems the update didn't take. Now the Blu-ray won't communicate with the samsung TV and doesn't read any disc anymore. When I called Samsung, their "customer service" people said to google the problem for an answer. A lot of help they were!!! Is there some way to reset the system to factory settings?
Thanks

I believe on startup, you need to hold the fast-forward button on the unit, until you see something about reset in progress...

Will not play movie
All the disks?
You may have firmware problem, this is one of the reson I do not own BRAY since you have to keep updating the firmware so you can play some of the new released BRAY disk.

My bluray player is a samsung bd-p1500 and terminator salvation the bluray wont play it never even gets to the menu?
All disc players have a thing called stacked tolerance. What it boils down to is some transports in players will not play certain discs; plain and simple.

All you can do it test it out on another BD player to make sure the disc is fine and test another disc in your BD player and make sure it hasn't gone defective.

Sorry I don't have an easy fix, this is not an uncommon problem.

Blue ray quit recognizing non BR disc
The non-blu-ray laser lens needs cleaning.

Try not to use a blast of compressed air.

Radio Shack has a lens cleaner ($13). it is an audio CD with a row of brushes on it.
Read & follow the directions.

BD-P1590 won't play some discs
It may be a disc incompatibilty. Make sure you have the latest firmware for your unit. Report the problem to samsung to see if you there is a issue or a future fix. Blu-ray players are STILL trying to be finalized and only recently have they gotten smoother. Some players are better at some discs than others. Please take a sec to let me know if this helps.

My BD-P1500 will not recognise a new non-blu-ray disc.
If its not a Blu-Ray disc, it wont have new technology that the Blu-Ray does not have installed so its unlikely a firmware update wil fix this as its generally for new Blu-Rays.

Does the disc playback in another player?

Is it the correct region code?

Do all other DVD-Video play ok?

Samsung BD-P1500 Plays Blu Ray but not DVD's
Nope. The laser mechanism seems to have developed a preference of its won and refuses to work with DVD media.
You have already done a firmware update so that is ng. Could be that when you updated it to play newer blue rays, the update messed up unit for dvd playback. Happens.

But do not sweat - that unit has a one year warranty - use it.
