UBP-X800: UHDBUDecode.exe SOFTWARE FOR REPLACE OPTICAL UNIT

Wed, 01 Feb 2023 19:17:10 -0700

I have a Sony UBP-X800 which not read any disc, so I need to replace the optical unit, but in the SERVICE MANUAL says that in order to make the change first I need to take a picture of the Bar Code on the Optical Unit and load it into a software called " UHDBUDecode.exe " and save a text file, then save it into a USB and load that file into the UBP-X800 ub port....

I made a search on the web for the UHDBUDecode.exe software but it seems it doesn't exist or it isn't in any part of the Web, so I'm asking if someone could help me to find that software or if someone have it if could please share it, I hope someone can help me.

Thanks :)

UBP-X800: Device isn't starting anymore.

Strange thing, when the player is plugged in, if I hit the eject button on the player, the drive will open and close no problem. However, the device doesn't actually power up.

This includes when I push the power button on the device as well as on the remote. The power light indicator doesn't turn on, the software doesn't start up, even though again, the drive opens and closes just fine.

I've tried factory reset, I've tried using a different power cable, no change.

I should say that I've moved recently and it was working before the move but not after.

UBP-X800: Won't read any disks or update

Thu, 14 Aug 2025 18:47:38 -0700

I can't tell if this is an actual problem with the motherboard or a software glitch either way it won't let me update the software or play any disc and I was wondering if anyone had ever tried replacing the memory or had a way to remove the os chip and force a firmware update or knew about a problem with the motherboard that would cause this any help or hints would be appreciated based on the Sony forms this is a common problem but mostly people just toss them out I would hate to do that so I'm holding on to it in case anyone ever finds a solution
