I can't find the latest firmware for Philips BDP3000/05 (?)
I bought a secondhand Philips BDP3000/05 earlier this year and when it works, its great! An inexpensive bluray and dvd player - however sometimes it gets stuck on its "STARTING" phase of bootup.
I've gone through so many Google searches and Gemini questions about it and it seems that older Philips models of bluray players had a somewhat known bug in some firmware revisions, and the later/latest update patches the bug - which makes sense, except I can't find the patch for download anywhere!
As I understand it, formatting a standard usb drive to fat32, extracting the file to it and plugging it into the bluray player triggers it to automatically launch straight to the patch, and I believe 1142.1 is the last update Philips put out for the BDP3000 series. While the official Philips website does still have the webpage for the BDP3000/05 (with a downloads and updates tab), the file to download leads to a dead link (this causes an ethernet connection from the player to my router to also not work).
I found a couple of forum pages mention the update, but lead to either dead or questionable links.
Does anyone have the file they could pass onto me, or know of some archived pages that might host the file? It'd be greatly appreciated, I just wanna use my bluray player reliably 😅
Many thanks in advance!
