Don't see why you're waiting. The soldering is no more difficult than a passkey.

Can I use a MAX232 instead of a MAX3232?

http://focus.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/max3232e.pdf

Texas Instruments does free samples with the 232 and the 3232, but only 232 comes in PDIP, which is easier to solder as compared to SOIC or whatever the other packages were.

This new thing with spoofing the liteon drive, do you need to solder anything on the mainboard, or is it like in the same kinda way of flashing?

Check maxim-ic dot com, see what they have for samples, I prefer Maxim over TI myself.

EDIT: I just looked and it looks like they have pdip max3232 samples at maxim-ic dot com

Yea I did the same, submitted my request for sample. Thanks for the tip, (although I didn't use it

Now if I could find some website to get me 5 0.1uf caps in samples...I would be set...proving harder than it seems...

As far as 232 based chips go, the cap requirement is pretty wide, I have built a number of device with MAX232 chips in them and the work fine anywhere from .1 to 1µF, just keep them all the same value and all should go well. If you in the US, Radio Shack should have 1µF caps that will work, I know there won't be free samples but they should be readily available.

I feel that if you aren't going to attempt it with what has been given you, you have no business saying anything. Except maybe "thanks guys!" There have been tutorials, but they are not beginner level stuff. If you can't comprehend whats been said, learn more.

These guys are not super geniuses by any means. They are good at what they do, and have probably spent a lot of time to get there. It is not their responsibility to make everything so completely spoon fed like everyone keeps asking. Come on now. There was just a breakthrough on the "uncrackable" dvdrom.

To the original poster, I'm not singling you out, just the comment seems so much more prevalent lately in this and a lot of the other forums. I sincerely believe that too many people just expect others to tirelessly pursue goals, so that they can step in and use their hard work.

Sorry for another non-technical post, but its getting ridiculous.

I have ordered the necessary hardware off Ebay, but in the meantime, a quick question about the power status of the drive, more specificaly the tray half open. Would I be right in assuming that you press eject on the 360 and as the tray starts to open, you shut the power off at the mains, then reconnect the mains and at the appropriate time, power on the 360 with the eject button ? Or is powering the drive for key extraction with the 360 itself no longer an option ?

Also, R707 and R708 state "reconnect both solder points". Are these resistors unpopulated in an untouched drive, or do they require removing and reconnecting afterwards ?
