You can try some Blu-ray player programs so that you could play Blu-ray discs on your laptop after installing a Blu-ray drive. You could try Leawo Blu-ray Player which is a free program.
This is a common problem in blu ray discs, the reason why it won't play is because they play at a faster speed and demand a higher precision to produce the high definition signal required to play the program. The only way to fix this is to replace the whole laser pickup assembly which would not be cost effective.

I have the same problem. While I don't have the permanent solution, I can tell you a few things. 1) You don't need to unplug, simply hold the power button down on the unit until it does a full reset (it normally just goes into standby mode when you tap the power off button). 2) I've noticed the locking only happens if I try to watch a netflix after I've used an optical disc between resets. IMO, I believe it's a problem with the system memory not updating and won't be solved unless they put out a specific firmware upgrade for it (unlikely on such a cheap player).

Please inspect the HDMI connector on the back of the Blu-Ray player to make sure none of the pins (top and bottom) are not push back inside the connector. If there are return the unit for a another unit.

SOURCE: A new "Tangled" movie disc not play in Blu-Ray
As newer bluray movies come out they are constantly tweeking the format. More then likely you need to update your bluray players firmware or software. There should be an option under the menu for the bluray player to update the unit of course this will require that you have it hooked into the internet via ethernet cable or wifi network.
