I have a Malata DVP 352 DVD player and was considering getting a remote control to replace a lost one. I took the DVD player to a Chinese repair shop and he said the cost would be $5. The procedure is that he would open up the DVD player, remove a small chip ( he showed me the socketed chip inside the player ), then plug the chip in a small box, which evidently reprograms the chip, replace the chip back into the DVD player and sell me a new remote control which he said would work perfectly. He also made clear, that should I ever find the original lost remote, it would no longer work after he did the above operation.
My question is: can someone explain in more detail what the repair shop is doing?
