Sorry if this was addressed somewhere earlier in this forum, I haven't been able to find it...

I hooked up the liteon to the ck3lite to my Via 6421, plugged in the serial
port, installed Porti032 successfully, ran jungleflash, and I was able to see
the drive, identified as 'Vendor: PLDS NameG-16025', located on the sata port. I turned on the ck3lite w/blue light, ejected the tray, turned off the ck3lite, pushed the tray halfway in, turned back on the ck3lite, and tried to dump the key. I am always able to get the inquiry.bin & identify.bin okay, but my key always shows up as '000000000000000000 Bad Key' (NOT CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC interestingly) According to the tutorial, I keep repeating the power cycle and setting the tray halfway (also tried 1/4 and 3/4 way in) as instructed like about 20 times, but always the exact same results.

I didn't use a probe, but soldered the points R707 and R708. I have decent
experience in soldering (I modded original xbox and my wii with modchips
successfully) and retouched the points several times to make sure. Then it
dawned on me, maybe my serial port is not working? Based on this infomation, is it my soldering that is bad (so I will buy a probe), or is it my serial port (can you show me, or directed me to a guide, on how to use Realterm to test it?)

Thanks for all of your support!

OK! For all of you having problems with VIA 6421 and CK3pro, follow the following guide and you will no longer receive CCCCCCC's with CK3 pro and VIA.

Make sure you have installed USB drivers and PORTIO32 as Team Xecuter states. Then

- Power off your PC computer
- Make sure CK3 On/Off switch is OFF
- Connect SATA cable from your VIA 6421 controller to the Liteon drive
- Connect the PC molex connector to CK3 pro
- Connect the power cable from the CK3 pro to Liteon
- Connect the the USB cable from CK3 pro to the PC USB port
- Turn ON Computer power and go intoo BIOS Screen or dual boot OS selection in order to pause bootup process
- Turn OFF CK3 pro power. Make sure the modeb light is blue
(If you have a CK3 probe it will lit blue as well)
- Press Eject button on CK3 pro.
- DVD Tray should will eject. Push in DVD tray more than half way in, with your hand.
- Turn OFF CK3 pro power!!!
-Let your PC boot into Windows XP
- Turn ON CK3 pro power

You can now use either JungleFlash or CK3 Tool 1.2.4 and you can read your drive's key!!!!

Let me now if that guide helped you!

KingDRAGON you are f***ing genius.
I spent 3 days trying to figure out why the hell I get 0s when trying to get the key and after your comments I was able to dump the key right away.
I have CK3 PRO (without the prob, I shorted/soldered the points on the drive mobo) with VIA 6421 SATA on PCI slot, running on Win2K. One comment I have is that in the TE Lite-On tutorial it says to click Erase , but for Lite-On drives should click Lite-On Erase button.
Once again thanks KingDRAGON for the help.

[KingDRAGON]

Saugage, glad I could help you out! I hope Team Xecuter will inlcude this in the tutorial so that people wont have problems. BTW, I say in th guide that after pause Windows startup ck3pro power is off. You should turn on in order to see the blue ligths. So in steps, all you have to do IS:

GUIDE TO DUMP KEY USING VIA 6421 PCI card and CK3PRO

2. Power OFF your PC computer
3. Make sure CK3 On/Off switch is OFF
4. Connect SATA cable from your VIA 6421 controller to the Liteon drive
5. Connect the PC molex connector to CK3 pro
6. Connect the power cable from the CK3 pro to Liteon (be sure to connect it the right way)
7. Connect the the USB cable from CK3 pro to the PC USB port
8. Turn ON Computer power and go into BIOS Screen or dual boot OS selection sceen in order to pause bootup process
9. Turn ON CK3 pro power. Make sure the modeb light is lit blue (If you have a CK3 probe it then itwill lit blue as well)
10. Press the Eject button on CK3 pro.
11. DVD Tray should eject. Push in DVD tray more than half way in, with your hand.
12. Turn OFF CK3 pro power!!!

You can use JungleFlash to also flash ix5 to your drive.
In MTKFLASH32 screen the correct procedure is to select the LITE-ON-ERASE button and NOT the ERASE button as stated in the tutorial. Also make sure that you do exactly as told when hit the LITE-ONE ERASE button if you have VIA or your PC will freeze and you will need to use l-o-eras and dosflash then to be able to flash your drive.

Hi you said
2. Connect power from the CK3 to the Hitachi DVD using the CK3 Probe blue power cable (the end that has the black Probe cable is the end that plugs to the DVD Drive - See Image 2) (make sure the connections are the right way around - there are guides on the connectors to help you - plug in the wrong way around and you will damage the drive or CK3 - remember it's a power cable). Connect a molex power source to the CK3 (to be safe make sure the CK3 power switch is set to OFF). Connect the SATA cable from the DVD drive to your PC SATA. To connect the USB (CK3 PRO) or Serial Cable (CK3 LITE) to the PC USB or SERIAL PORT (See Image 4) you first need to make sure you have the PortIO32 drivers installed (plus the CK3 USB drivers if you have the CK3 PRO) See Image 5. Now turn the CK3 power switch to ON. To check the power cable is working press the eject switch so that the tray ejects. Once ejected manually push the tray half in, this must be done for the key dumping to work. The led should also be blue on the CK3 (Modeb Off), and blue on the CK3 Probe. See Image3 to show how everything should look.
but you said Hitachi DVD dont you mean Liteon also how can i tell if the connections are the right way????

[KingDRAGON]

The Team-Xecuter guide refers to LiteON DVD (the Hitachi DVD is typo error).

You can tell the connection are right by seeing the pics at first and second there is only one way the power clips fit to each other (see the plastic rails on each connector)...
