Page 1 of WHARFEDALE WDP 1210.....what am i doing wrong ??

i don`t know if anyone can help me ?

i bought a wharfedale wdp 1210 portable dvd player today, but only after checking that there was a multi-region hack on here first.

got it home and tried the hack (turn on.....open tray....enter 3597 on the remote....select code 9 on the menu etc)

problem is i turned it on, opened the tray(with no disc inside), then typed in 3597 on the remote, but no menu appeared

i know i must be doing something wrong, as several other people have said they got the hack to work 1st time ?

question is....what am i doing wrong ?....is there supposed to be a region 1 or 2 disc in the tray before you open it ?

otherwise i have no idea what i`m doing wrong, and i have loads of region 1 discs i want to play on this player, and if i cant,it becomes pretty useless to me.

hope someone can help me ?

Wharfedale WDP-1210
The published hack does not work on the machine I bought as a Christmas present. The unit also has a different battery and battery connection than a previous version of the same machine that i have (both are designated WDP-1210!!).
It looks as if the software has been changed and the hack is rejected. All attempts so far have produced the circle with the diagonal line across (prohibited sign). That symbol appears as soon as I press any button on the remote when the tray is open or closed.
