Check out my sig.... Western Digital 250gig is cheap right now!!! Just go to the harddrive compatibility site and check the one you will buy....

the x3 can support more than 1000GB in other words more than a terabyte

i think it was around 3 terabytes it could support

check with http://xboxdrives.x-pec.com/?p=list to see if your harddrive is lockable.

its about 2TB. Though i dont think anyone needs more than 400gb....

flashing lie ondg-16d2s

so i have flashed my toshiba-samsng ms28 drive using jungleflasher.
now i have a mate who wants me to do his drive but his is the lite on dg-16d2s, so i googled around and looked for guides and came across that i need the connectivity kit v3 ck3 & usb liteon solderless probe to do this.

just wondering do i actually need the connectivity kit to flash it or can i just use my pci via sata card to flash it with ixtreme lt v1.1?

any help would b greatfully appreciated

Re: flashing lie ondg-16d2s

what version of the lite-on is it?

Re: flashing lie ondg-16d2s

Unless it's a pretty old liteon, you will need more than that and you may need some soldering skills.

Re: flashing lie ondg-16d2s

Re: flashing lie ondg-16d2s

open the consol and read on the dvd drive check F/W revision or something like that.

there are four possible revisions

7xxxx series
for the 7xxx series you need a probe to extract the DVD key your options are to buy one or make one yourself


8xxxx V1 series
you need nothing but a pc for 8xxxx V1 series


8xxxx V2 series
you need major soldering skills for 8xxxx V2

(The only way to tell if you have 8xxxx V1 or V2 is to physically try and dumb the firmware it wont say which version it is on the cd reader it will only say 8xxxxx and thats it)

9xxxx series
you need major soldering skills for 9xxxx

To be honst if you take your time and do it smoothly soldering would go really easy.

Re: flashing lie ondg-16d2s

if im right then i must have the 8xxxx as when i opened it there was the liteon name, and then part number x800474-008 i take it as that is the series but im not sure.
