Ordered it on 12/18 and it got here today -- finally. Anyways, was pretty disappointed with the way it looked in the mailbox.

Got to opening it up and this is the way the CK3 box looked:

Image

Opened up the box and the parts inside looked intact and unscathed by the bad post workers :?

Image

So I cut open the static wrap and went to work on integrating my homemade probe!

Image

Image

This is how I connected everything. I used masking tape to hold things down so they wouldn't move. My CK2 had moved and got fried when it touched some metal (accidentally). So I vowed to not let that happen again.

I used JungleFlasher to read the key and make the firmware.

I then booted into DOS and used l-o-eras to erase the drive and then dosflash to write the new firmware.

Thanks to everyone here who have posted their findings on the lite-on and their methods of flashing it. I have successfully done 2 lite-ons all ready and it feels gooood ;)

One thing there cyantific, I couldn't help but notice that on your CK3, the mode light is red. This means that the mode button is pressed and if there was a hitachi drive, it would put that drive in mode b. When your doing lite-on drives, the mode light should be blue instead of red. I don't think it will hurt anything, but you might want to just press that button till the light turns blue and use it that way on sammies, benq's and lite-ons.

Good job on getting on those lite-ons though!!!
