samsung bd-1250 bluray player stuck on load

[steiff1]

guys

does anyone own the bluray surround sound above??
mine has decided that it wants to get stuck on a load message and not boot properly or work.
i've scoured the internet to find a resolution, and all posts across the sites i've looked at say that to reset, you need to press the on button for 30 seconds, then the stop button etc etc.
if you go to samsung website, the FAQ's for this model are shite, no mention or help for it, yet it appears to be a regular issue with people over the time.

well pi$$ed off right now.

Press the "Power" button on the front of your Blu-ray player to turn it on.

Press the "Open/Close" button on the player to open the tray. Remove the disc, and wait for the display to read "No Disc."

Press the "FF" button on the player -- do not use the remote control and hold it for about eight seconds until the message "Reset" appears on the display, followed by the player turning off. Wait about 10 seconds after the player turns off.

Press the "Power" button. The "Menu Language Selection" screen will appear on the TV. Each language has a number next to it, such as "1" for English

Press the number on your remote corresponding to the language you want to use for the Blu-ray player. The "e-Contents" menu will then display on the TV, indicating you have reset the Blu-ray player...

Hope this helps ...b3
