Can't change regions on an S5500

A few years back, I purchased a multi region Blu-Ray player, the BDP-S5500. Never had a day's trouble with it; everything worked fine.

 

Until today.

 

Long story short, it's locked on Region A and I can't change regions. I changed from B to A about a month ago and everything was fine and I've changed many times over the years with no issue. And now all of a sudden, pressing the blue button for region b does nothing (nor does the Green for region c). I've tried a factory reset, checked to see if the firmwear was up to date, and everything seems fine. I've also had a look around online and nobody else seems to have had this problem.

 

Any help would be immensely appreciated.

Thanks.

Is it multi-region though? As far as I know, all Sony players are region restricted.
And it even mention this in the manual page 40: https://bit.ly/316UQfc.
