lite on flash probelm

[Hexadecimal_7]

Hey, I have successfully flashed a lite-on using the ck3 pro kit in the past, but this time when I am trying to get the key using JungleFlasher. I have the drive half open and am using the probe while the green light is illuminated. Last time I was using the older version of JF and now I am using version 1.55. I figured that getting the key was under the DVDKey 32 tam and clicking Get Key, Create Dummy.bin, Open as Source but I get an error saying ***WARNING*** Serial Data is bad. What could I be doing wrong this time around? Thanks guys.

if this drive flashed
then you would dump with the
"dummy from ixtreme" button under the dvd key 32 tad

The drive has not been flashed before.

i have read about some people having a hard time with the new v1.55 jungle
make sure you reload the portio that comes with the new v1.55

if that dont work
you mat want to give iprep v8.8 a try.

OK... So I have narrowed the problem down to actually getting the DVD Key off the drive using the Probe. I seem to be having this problem no matter whether I run JungleFlasher or DOS Flash. I keep getting that same error message as I had said before. I had even used a small knife and shaved away some of the green on the motherboard to get at the circuit to try for a better probe, but still nothing. Has this problem happened to anyone lately, or is it just me that is doing something wrong. I am following all of the steps correctly and have flashed lite-on's in the past, but now it seems to be having this issue. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks a lot guys.

have you tried it by soldering the 707 point
you could have a bad probe (i guess)

Hmm, I don't believe that I have a bad probe because when I try and use DOS Flash the status of the drive will not go beyond 'Status 0x51' like it should. I have the drive pushed half way in, but having no luck... If I do solder the R707 port will it work do you think? Thanks.

Well it turns out that I was using the wrong COM port, lol. Something as difficult as I thought it had been, turned out to be as easy as THAT!. Ugh what a noob I am... Flashed and online! Thanks guys.
