On the main menu the tv is normal and the options can be seen clearly. When I put a movie into the player the screen turns green and that's all you can see. You can still hear the movie but you can't see it.

Mine just did the same thing... what you have to do is unplug the Blue Ray Player... and then hold the power button for 30 seconds... plug the player back in and you should be up and working fine.

I was about to try your solution but I updated the software first and that fixed it as well, might help someone doesn't get the power button trick to work. Ah, the things we do to make cheap crap keep working.

Wow so glad I searched google and found this site! I was very upset cause my warranty ran out in March and I was thinking about buying a new one. Now I don't have to. I am able to watch my new movie John Carter and no more green screen! Thanks.
