To add some content to this... I personally have never needed to set
the region on a DVD drive. But I haven't bought any new DVD drives in
a while. Certainly my old ones are still playing DVDs routinely. If
this is true in your case I doubt it is the system but probably the
DVD drive itself that is enforcing a region code.
If you have two drives then you might consider booting a KNOPPIX live
boot disk on one of the drives and playing a DVD on the other. That
would provde a hardware check with a different operating system.
Given that setting the region on the hardware makes it able to play
protected DVDs, I consider the hardware OK.
