Update: Moved from the 3.3V supply to 5v supply and am now getting full loopback. COM1 port is 100% working now. And i am 100% certain my device is working too. When i connect Rx & Tx to Liteon i still get all C's for the keys (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Compleatly run out of things do now.

Hi guys,

I'm fairly new to all of this, but have been learning a lot as I've gone along. I was having the 'seems to be NOT good DVD key!!!' error, so I tried troubleshooting my RS232 with Hyperterminal. Now, it connects, but when it echoes, it doesn't echo the actual character typed- rather, it echoes the same character every time, which is the Greek letter Delta (ie, a triangle). When I try in Realterm, both the RX and TX lights are on, and when I type with hex selected, it gives the correct hex equivalents of the characters I press.

Should I assume that it's working fine? The hyperterminal results make me a bit uncertain.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Guys,

I am having a strange problem. It seems that some where during the process of dumping the keys, the Liteon drives will no longer close the tray automatically when I push it in.
MP3boy confirmed his Liteons do close the tray when pushed after he dumps the key..

So I am trying to figure out what I am doing that causes this.

Before I dump I get the drive in an open state. I do this by hitting eject to open the tray, then before the tray is completely open, I power down then push the tray 1/2 way closed.
I can only assume this is how I am messing it up the tray. Each time I have done it, the keys dump fine and on the first try.

But is it possible to get the key while the drive is in a closed state? By having the drive tray open, then pressing eject so it closes and cut the power before it closes all the way?

Has anyone else run into this.
Thanks

This will allow you to grab the key and then insert it into another drive, giving Lite-On owners a way of hacking the system.

The Lite-On drive does NOT have a writable ROM therefore the drives themselves are not hackable.

ok im not reallt getting this? you can grab the key from a liteon but the drives themselves are not hackable?? i have a liteon dvd drive.. so basically i need a second drive or what is it? i'm not quite understanding this? plz advice.. thankx!

you need to get the key out of your lite-on and put it into another drive that you can flash if you go online then a benq drive is your choice but if you dont then any other drive will do
I have put a ms28 drive in mine
the lite-on drive can not be flashed at the moment because its not possible to dump all the firmware
to hack it , from what i have read you can erase it you can flash it maybe in time it can be done
read the topics on this subject its all explained

I get this with Lite-Ons. I open the tray. Then hit eject to close tray and kill power before tray is closed. Switch back on and dump the key. Often, the drive will fail to close, whether I hit the eject or push the front of the tray. They all open fine.
If powered off for a period, they come back to life and work normally again.

Mine still fail to close by pressing the tray. I have had them un powered for over a few days and connected them to a connectivity kit and ejected a lot.

I am going to stop hitting eject to open then power off and push close 1/2 close before I flash.
Instead I will keep tray open press eject to CLOSE then power off before it closes all the way then flash.

Actually I got another new arcade today and before I did any modding I plugged the Lite-on just the power, into the xecuter v1 connectivity kit. I hit eject nothing. I hit eject again, the tray opened, then I pushed it in and the tray did not close on its own.

So either I am getting a batch of wacky Liteons, or people are mistaken when they say the tray closes when pushed in, or the connectivity kit is causing the malfunction.

NOTE AFTER THE DRIVE IS PUT BACK INTO THE 360 it no longer closes tray when pushed.

I'll have to try mine when I put it back in on the 19th Nov for NXE update.

I noticed the Xecuter V3 Connectivity kit and the 360Xtractor are now both available and both are Lite-On ready. Anyone had a chance to try one or the other? Did they simplify the process much?

As far as as I read those kits are exactly the same as what people can buy off ebay (RS232 assembly). It's just ready made so no soldering...
