When I was writing firmware to my drive my computer froze up and caused me to do a hard reset. Because of this my liteon wont respond to anything now. Im sure it was working before hand but now it wont even show in the information section of Jungleflasher, it just says no drive detected. Also when I load jungleflasher and plug this drive in (or already have it plugged in) many times it causes it to freeze and make me end the process. Is there anything I can do to save it or am I screwed.

I take it you kept your key somewhere, if so try and do Liteon erase again, its because you were half way there hence why it cant be found in Jungleflasher, just follow steps to liteon erase and get to x72 should be fine.

Yes I have my key, I tried that too but when I click liteon erase it will start sending the x90 but I dont know when to power cycle the drive. Should I just click liteon erase and as its sending the code just leave it running even if it freezes?

press liteon erase then turn of power source then straight back on that should do the job.
