Check reviews. Philips players have a chip that makes them break one day after warranty expires.

#1, I don't know where did you read the review. I have mine for 18 months and it is still going strong.

#2 How were you able to disable the warranty chip inside your player?

I did not do anything extra since I bought it. I searched the web and I did not find any reference about the warranty chip in dvp5140. My brother bought two from Costco for $40 ea and he has no problems with them.

#2, ignore the redneck incestuous brothers #1 and #3

I was able to remove the warranty microchip in mine right away. I injected it under the skin of my neighbor's pesky dog. 365 days later, he dropped dead.

I underclocked the warranty chip on my Philips DVD player. Now it will last longer before crapping out (ie. 35 days instead of 30).

Oink

#2 got one with a defective warranty chip, typical philips
