Angry Help needed, Acer laptop & Cyberlink DVD player.

My Cyberlink DVD player has just locked itself into playing region 2 DVDs with no warning The trouble is most of my DVDs are region3

The help section is quite open about why it has done it:

"This ensures maximization of revenues for motion picture studios' theatrical and home releases"

Thieving ***** do they think I'm going to go and by the DVDs again now


Is it possible to unlock it or am I just better off binning it & getting a different one?
