i want to use a screwdriver on tx.

but:



can i also use numbero 2???

number 2 is not magnetic, i want to know if number 2 is a conductor and if i can also use him.

so and what is the distance between the islands at r707.

thnx in advance!

sorry for ma english, im dutch.

It will probably conduct but isn't that to big ?
Good luck, since I don't any luck with the dutch lite on drives

Hey, I`m trying to dump the key now with a VIA 6421 card, CK 3 Pro and CK3 Tool 1.2.3 with a USB-COM cable. I`ve got the right ports and everything, but I always get CC CC CCs for my key. How do I check if it is in closed mode? I don`t know what to do in Realterm.

Just close tray when drive its powered on and after open manualy with small screwdriver half way.

For a several weeks now I've tried dumping the key from my lite-on drive.

First I've used homemade key extractor using resistors and transistors ( not max232 or 3232 chip )
After that I've tried making max232 based convertor.
And after that a friend made me a good working max3232 convertor.

With all f these I've recieved only:

It didn't work, sorry sega: 54
Nothing Recieved on COM port

This week I've recieved a CK3 Lite without a probe ( R707 and R708 are reconnected ).

After exstensive tryouts the same status was recieved, exept some times I was able to get: COM port seems anyway to work, but still 000000000 for key.

After some reading I've see tuts for using RealTerm. So I've tried it and was very surprised...

First I was geting only 000000 all along with drive just hooked up and turned on.
After some playing with configuring the program and turning on the drive, a was able to get a mixed signal of 0 F FC E FE 8 etc.

After some more playing with open / close dvd tray and turn off / on drive it displayed a secuence of 010101 for some time and that stopped. I've managed to do that several times, but everytime it happend when doing different things with the drive.

I have a strong feeling that the ck3 isn't working right because after checking with multimeter I wasn't able to get constant signal from RX or TX... Once there is only signal from RX or TX, sometimes from both. The weird part is that when I am using different ground poing it gives me different signal value ( if I use the ground point on the dvd drive, I usualy don't get any signal from TX or RX, but If I use the ground from the rs232 cable it gives me 8 volts, if I use the PC case as ground, I get 3.3 volts at Tx only. but after a while the singals stops and there is only signal at the R707 point it self. )

I've checked the soldered r707 and r708 but nothing is wrong with them

And after this very wong post, I need to know if there is a way to properly test the CK3 or if someone knows from where does this strange comport status come...

edit: I forgot to mension that the: COM port seems anyway to work status I recieve when I close the drive with the eject button from the ck3 and while it closes I turn of the CK3 itself. This is the only way I recieve this status. All other ways ( and i've tried about 20 ) always give sega 54 and Nothing recieved on com port.

Finally I've dumped the key from two lite-on drives with no problem and with no multiple types of keys.

The problem was at two places:

1. The CK3 Lite isn't working properly ( it recieves signal only from RX but not from TX )
2. The reconnection of RX and TX traces wasn't properly done.

And to add this important thing

There is no need to buy a Probe, cause it is enough to hook up a wire to the TX ( only ) comming from the CK3 or a RS232 to TTL ( which I've used / homemade ) and put it directly in the TX hole. Just make sure that RealTerm gives you the right status ( 01010101... ) and everything will work.

P.S. You must have 3.3V comming from the RS232 convertor on the TX, a the samo voltage comming from the TX hole.

P.S.2. I've Unlocked the drive with turning on the CK3, opening the drive tray, turning off the CK3 ( the drive itself ), pushing manualy the tray half way in ( approximately ) and turning it on from the CK3 with Dvdkey 1.2 ( windows programs and dosfalsh16 didnt'work for dumping, but for flashing everything works fine, but iprep 8 is the best )

Edit: I have 2 com ports on my motherboard, so I've desabled my second port from the BIOS and made the first one to be in Auto mode.
