Errr have you got a comport on the back of your pc? If you have and its not showing up it might be disabled in your bios.

Your via card is not connected to your comport its inserted into a pci slot. This is a comport: Image

Edit: just had a google for your pc and you might be out of luck if its this motherboard: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/docu ... ct=3686671" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; as an r232 serial port isn't listed in the specs and isn't on the pics if its this one:

You'll have to use jungleflasher with a ck3 pro or similar which enables you to use a usb cable instead of an r232 lead.

You can't use iprep with your pc for Liteon 7xx (i think that'll be the version you have unless its a new 'un) due to it not working without a comport. If its a 7 series Liteon You'll need a ck3 pro and a probe together with jungleflasher(works out cheaper if you buy them both together) or make a diy probe (unless its been flashed before as jungleflasher can dummy it from ixtreme.)

Theres a few retailers reviewed here: http://www.robinhoodsplayground.com/for ... 184&t=3091" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Click on the link i posted and theres a list of retailers who sell the ck3's. You'll need the pro version (which can also use the serial comport if you get another pc/borrow one etc.)

Just as a guide This is what you need: http://www.kanection.co.uk/product.php/ ... 49081136af" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

or a bundled one which includes the probe: http://www.kanection.co.uk/product.php/ ... 49081136af" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Look through the list above and select one who's nearest to you.

You will also need to disable your via card drivers to stop jungle freezing up: http://www.robinhoodsplayground.com/for ... =63&t=4351" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
