Panasonic UB820 Blu-ray Player Multi Region Hack - Full guide!!

This is very well put together video and as far as I can tell the only one online relating to this mod, however, I really wish more time had been taken to show the disassemble of the unit (tricky getting the cover off) and the full modding process in more detail instead of quick sharp cuts. Hopefully I can find more detailed information elsewhere as the instructions that come with it are pretty barebones as well. Edit: finally got the cover off without breaking it which I thought I was going to and after looking in more detail at your video and pausing it at certain shots I was confused about which wires on the open ended cable harness as they didn't seem to match with the lettering on the mod itself. I went on the rattlebyte website and clicked on the cable harness page and was able to see which wires specifically were correct - that's something that should be in the instructions really. Anyway, I'm not good at soldering but it's only 6 points and after a little trial and error everything seemed connected OK. The firmware updated and it's working so I guess as long as I don't touch it everything will be fine!

I feel like you missed highlighting one of the most important features, and I would have liked to see a review of using it. The ability to load Subtitles from USB to use with a Blu-ray, so that you can play foreign movies and add English subtitles even if they're not included on the disc. My player does work with the "Magic button combo" so, the ability to load external subs really is the only thing I'd buy this for.

Very useful mod that is cheaper than buying a region free player. I have been soldering all my life so fitting the kit will not be an issue.

Are you able to perform normal Firmware updates now? Great video thanks

The last part of the mod is disconnecting your doorbell!

Can you do firmware updates from Panasonic website after you do this mod? Or you just stuck with the Mod firmware forever?

At 2:31, that little green board/chip with the qr code, is that the wifi chip? In between the steel/metal sheet? The one where it gets a close up at 2:34 on the upper left, where it has a wire coming out of it.

I'm confused as the official listing for this player states Plays Blu-ray Discs Zones A B & C Plays DVDs from regions 1-8

Could have been far better .. You spent more time picking the out of focus shots + loud music than showing the important info on the disassembly and chip fitment

Dodgy soldering skills and why on earth would you mount the board on top a disc tray. Amateur 🙄

Oh yeh, really painless dismantling your player and having to have genius level soldering skills. So no, not quite ‘painless’
