Assuming it is even possible to remotely recover? From the description it doesn't sound like it ever completes startup, and there's no USB port, so I'm not quit

Assuming it is even possible to remotely recover? From the description it doesn't sound like it ever completes startup, and there's no USB port, so I'm not quite sure how local recovery would work? Keep in mind this is a 2015 BluRay player, so outside a class action I doubt Samsung will do anything and just act like they all just coincidentally failed. These players do have a "Hold Eject for 5 seconds" factory reset mode, but it doesn't appear to re-flash the factory firmware, only clear the settings.

Also, Samsung doesn’t even make Blu-ray players anymore. They got out of that game in feb 2019. So it’s not like they could even offer someone a discount on a new one.

Class action suits should require at the minimum replacement or repair of the product in question, including shipping to the user. Otherwise, lawyers get paid and I get $0.21 cent check in the mail.

  So if that’s the route they go then by 2033 an impacted owner can register in a 85 step process to obtain a $5 check to use toward a new blu ray player that expires 90 days after it’s issued. Meanwhile the lawyers get to keep all the additional proceeds.

    The sad part is that you're not wrong and I have to concede with intense laughter.

Are you sure it doesn't have a USB port? Most blu-ray players do (some of the discs let you download something to usb storage for some reason), and the front panel has a USB logo according to the Amazon listing: https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-BD-JM57C-Streaming-Blu-ray-Renewed/dp/B00ZIS0LGC/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8 https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-BD-JM57C-Streaming-Blu-ray-Re... https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/61v%2BV4knawL._AC_SL1500_.jpg https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/61v%2BV4kna...
