ok i bricked my lite-on today and it would detect it at all. I looked at many peoples tutorials on flashing and came up with a way to unbrick it. I tried it because i had nothing to loose and it works! Im currently writing a tutorial exclusively for this site on how i did it with a video.!

could it possibly of been like this viewtopic.php?f=195&t=3226

I tried that and it didnt detect the flash chip (which means its bricked)

my method too can be used to recover. I hope this tut im writing makes a diff.

NOTE***

Bricked is when no firmware is loaded or if your firmware locked up and you cant even eject it do to complete firmware loss and the flash chip cannot be detected.

after a flash chip is erased it WILL be undetected
there is nothing there to detect
as long as you know the port number that the drive is hook to
you use that to flash in the recover

no, not 100% right
for the lite-on dvd drive that is.

right most of the time.
if in the middle of a flash you lose power or for some reason the flash stops then yea, that most of the time is a bricked drive.

The lite-on dvd drive is hard to BRICK so to speak
we have even flash in the wrong firmware (a benq)
and was able to recover it.
