Flashing Liteon with Laptop

[ionstorm]

Hey guys quick question. I saw all the videos Cofree posted up (thanks btw very helpful) so is it possible to flash a liteon drive with a laptop using the CK3 with probe and jungleflasher and thats it? Also the drive has beeen previously flashed by someone else. Im asking cause on the CK3 kit im seeing a COM port connection like a printer type connection and im worried before i purchase it. Thanks in advance.

you may can get it to work with jungle
it has usb dump

with iprep you have to have a rs232 com cable
hooked up.
and
there are not many laptops that have that.

i figured it has to work, judging by your video you had the drive connected through the usb and no via chipset.My laptop doesnt have via chipset but it does have usb ports. What about the sata cable is it connected in your video?

that is going to be the hard part get a sata port that will work.

yes the sata and the usb have to be hooked up

Alright im going to try and do it with a sata express card and see if that works.I dont have all the tools yet but next week i should be able to do it and ill post my results. Thanks for everything.

make sure you sata card is a VIA chipset...

Also have a look at this. There's mention of a different driver for the sata card that can help prevent the "freeze" after the erase.

thanks i have that page bookmarked. im having extreme difficulty finding a VIA PCMCIA card or Express card but i will continue searching. They are very rare.
