i basical agree with u ed
but
how did u order it nightstalker? did u view wb page see the picture,this way its advertising fault maybe depends on the legal standing of the name messiah2 pro they cover there sel f v1.33
is messiah2 pro registered patented name ? i doubt it

sounds like a bad laser,could been a swap,could be dirt in it
also heard of a few v7 that needed laser alignment white cog before it play dvdr,ive never seen 1 but charlies has had a few

either way it should been tested and known to be ok with one brand media
ask them what brand media they use for testing
night send them pleny emails telling them its being followed on all the forums,they not want hurt there business u keep pushing u should at least get it sorted and working even if it is a hk messiah
