Rod, yes that is a possibility, however I can say that for 3+ years we have modified 100+ Oppo units, I have not had one single failure been relayed back to me

likewise Oppo is actually very good about stuff like this, I have heard some online members say they got free parts or reduced price parts to install in modified players that had a problem

9 out of 10 times what happens to a player like this is the drive goes bad, again a simple swap in and out

lastly while I don't have any stated warrantys, I will take care of folks 6 months to a year, including installing and repairing for no labor costs

thanks Rod
