You don't have to yank any wires, or go inside the case at all, for probably the best ones anyway. Don't pay someone an extra $100 to do it.
The hack for the Sampo 611 consists of burning a single line of text in ISO format onto a CD-R and putting it in the machine.
The hack for the basic Daewoo most commonly carried at places like Target (I'm blanking on the model number; I'll check with hubby or amilyn later) is in a hidden menu, and consists of hitting five or six buttons on the remote.
Both of these, along with lots of others, can be found in eminently searchable form at:
Either of these machines can be had for under $100. Our Sampo, after three years, has developed a tendency to overheat and start skipping. Amy and Husband have gone through one Daewoo and a second is starting to die, which recommends against using it heavily as one's primary DVD player. But they can be found on sale for $60 fairly frequently, so *shrug*.
Both machines have very respectable sound and picture quality and will play pretty much anything but dinner plates.
