Well that depends on which liteon you have, look at the sticker on the top of the drive. what is the series number, ie... 7XXX, 8XXX, 9xxxx? once you tell us that we can point you in the right direction.

If you have an 8 series, look at the MFR of the drive as well.

sryy for responding so late..just got my lite-on back today.....and checked it out and if am corerct it the( ms part:x8*****) and the ( manuf is dec 09 ) plz correct me if am wrong thanks...

its proberly a 8****v2 which needs trace cutting and a LT switch or probe v2.

but is that the correct serial # cuz no were on the drive it says serial number so i figured it was that 1, or do u need me to type a few more #..i seen the guide for it but i didnt see any cut&trace so that guide probably not gonna work for me thenn they was using the conn kit& the prob and jungle flasher..dont wanna start buying things i dont need if it not gonna work for my drive... my HW ver:A0A2 if tha helps....

[HaGGardSmurf]

Right above/below the HW ver: A0A2 it should say FW ver: xxxxxC

What is the FW, if it says 83850C then its an 8 series, very likely its v2. Which means you will need to follow a 9 series guide.

k i checked it out and the fw ver:93450c.......so am assuming it not a 8 series cuz it not match ur numbers....so wha would i need to use to unlock the keys and wha guide can i follow if it possible.

[HaGGardSmurf]

So its a 9 series.

You need a CK3, probe v2, or LT switch. You will need to cut a couple traces, and bridge them with either the lt switch, or the probe.

Go to youtube, search up hacking jungle, shootsteel has made a couple videos on flashing a 9 series lite-on, you should check them out.

Good luck!

k thanks ive looked into it and read the guides about he cut and trace methods i have to do on the drive..and then i read on and seen that they got the new ck3 prob v2 that solderless for the 9 series..but i cant find a up to date guide on them using it..kinda confused..if i get the prob v2 and the ck3 do i still need the LT switch..? cuz i read u got solder the LT switch to the drive itself..is the cut and trace the way to connect the LT switch to the drive confused on tha part...

[HaGGardSmurf]

You have to cut traces either way.

If you get the probe you dont need the LT switch.

If you get the probe, after you cut the traces and have dumped the drive etc, you can resolder the traces, or use the conductive glue included with the probe to fix the cuts.

ok got ya thanks for clearing it up for me...now do I gotta do the cut&trace every time to flash the drive..
