Sony Blu-Ray Player issue FIXED!!!

I had purchased a Sony Blu Ray player a few months ago so I can stream Hulu and Youtube Videos on my Plasma TV. Recently my player would freeze randomly during Youtube videos which required unplugging the player and plugging it back in. Hulu had several issues -- mainly would not start stream TV shows (playback error), would not find my account (Authentication Error) and often, pausing a show on Hulu would cause the player to freeze, also resulting in having to unplug the power supply and plug it back in. Then it would reset itself about once a week, then after a while it was resetting itself twice a day. It would forget my login information for Hulu and Youtube, and it would require the wifi password to be set up again. I told sony about this, they told me to unplug it for one minute and plug it in a wall socket (no surge protector or power strip). It seemed to fix the problem for about a week. Then it went back to its old ways.

Today I got a letter from my Cable Company giving me a really good deal on cable for 1 year. They made me an offer I can not refuse. Since I bought the wretched Sony for cable cutting purposes I figured it's time to put this asshole out of its misery. I put the Sony in the sink and plugged it in and turned on the water and when I confirmed it was dead I fixed it with a hammer. About ten smashes and it looked like a Hyundai totaled in a drunk driving accident.

Rest in pieces, Sony blu Ray Player.

Around here, you can't have AC anywhere near water without a ground fault so you would need an extension cord.

OTOH, if it fits, remove the top cover and place the offending equipment in the microwave oven if you want a real visual treat....

Destroyed a perfectly good player while the real blame lies with sites like Hulu and YT constantlh "updating" their smart TV apps.

If it was a "perfectly good player" it wouldn't be constantlh forgetting my Wifi password. Can't remember the last time Hulu and YT actually updated shit on the Sony blu ray player platform.

Remember that sticker that said "It's A Sony!" you would see on a Trinitron or a Betamax or a Walkman? When was the last time you saw "it's A Sony!" on a Sony Product? Can't even remember because even Sony knows their products have the quality of cockroach shit.

Around here blu ray players come with a 12 volt power adapter which was plugged into a GFCI outlet and in 5 seconds the water from the sink destroyed the blu ray player much like Obama destroyed America.

Oh, it fits but am I going to waste a perfectly good microwave oven when a hammer that I got for 3 dollars at a flea market worked wonders.

Wow, even my crappy "smart" Vizio DVD has an AC cord..

I admit that there's a certain satisfaction to beating the beejeezus out of an offending device with a heavy blunt object, but you won't hurt the micr owave if you decide to go Tesla on it. Just don't run the microwave too lo ng lest you stink it up for weeks. A couple of seconds will reveal a light show to delight young and old alike, and not damage the magnetron.

Awesome. the only solution to Sony garbage .It was never perfectly good. I have one, everything claimed, and more. Sony now sucks, I was a guest DJ at an important national skating event years ago. My Sony Vio or vial, as I called was about to audio skip for no reason plen ty of memory, fast processor, not even hooked to the internet, was going to skip for it's very last time. Now I wasn't going live yet but it was doing it in my earphones. now my old backup Dell was to become my main computer. Because this is when I kicked my skates with the toestop straight ahead in to the screen several times after smashing it on to the floor. I than opene d the outside door in my booth and kept smashing the you know what out of i t. I tore out the hard drive and finished it off, then tossed the whole thi ng on to the nearby railroad tracks.

I hate you Sony.
