Install the application and open it, in the middle of the window, look for the name of your SATA controller, click the question mark on the right-side, the SATA port is the first 4 (four) characters in the DeviceIO string.
This is a Windows tool to create a boot disk for iXtreme flashing. 0xA000 or A000).Ĭurrently there are 3 different methods to find the address, some easier than others. The address location is in HEX format (e.g.
The utility will interface with the drive over the serial connection and dump the key via SATA.Ĭreate a DOS boot disk and put DVDKey on the drive.ĭVDKey requires the address of the SATA port where the Lite-On drive will be connected. Any old BenQ, Toshiba-Samsung, or Hitachi-LG drive will work.ĭownload the DVDKey utility. In addition you of course need a new DVD drive to put the key on once it's dumped.
If you buy or use a pre-built adapter, remember tht V+ or Vcc is the same as 3.3v, V- or Vss is the same as Ground, Tx or T1 In is the same as TxD, and Rx or R1 Out is the same as RxD. There is also two jumpers/solder pads for TxD and RxD that needs to be joined. Once the serial adapter is ready, connect the 3.3v, Ground, TxD and RxD points to the Lite-On drive board. Composed of only resistors, diodes, transistors, and a capacitor. For more loopback test info, look here.Īlternatively, try this very simple RS-232 level converter. HyperTerm will not show what you type/input by default, only what's replied back/output from the RS232 transceiver. Type something in the terminal, if it's working it should echo back what you type.
Open HyperTerm (or any other terminal applications) and try the default settings (9600, 8, None, 1). To verify that the serial adapter works, make sure the serial-port is enabled in the BIOS, and join (loop) the Tx and Rx pins together (pin 2 and 3). Here is my adapter based on a MAX3232 chip: Other required parts are 5x 0.1 uF (1000nF) ceramic or electrolytic capacitors, 1x D-Sub 9-pin female connector, and maybe a 2.54 mm spaced breadboard to mount everything. To build an adapter, these two RS-232 transceivers will work fine: The regular 16-bit DVDKey application for DOS will not work with USB-adapters, only COM-port based adapters. The parts are cheap and it isn't hard to build.Īny USB-based RS-232 adapters (like this) will work fine with DVDKe圓2 (Windows application). The serial adapter will be connected to the Lite-On drive board and used to interface with the MT1319L controller using the special DVDKey utility (more below).Įither buy a pre-built RS-232 level shifter adapter or build one yourself.
Currently it's not possible to dump or flash the drive, only to extract the key. This drive started to appear in machines manufactured after 20th April 2008 (). 5.2.1 350 Firmware Toolbox (recommended method).5.1.1 360 Firmware Toolbox (recommended method).
