Hello there, Thanks to forums I've managed to make my own probe to flash Lite-on 7 series but I've never fount a forum that shows how to make a "open/close button alone side a Probe so I will explain how I did mine, its very simply...

First off you need a few things, A Sata power extension, You can use Molex to power But Molex doesn't have 3.3v, Using Sata power it has a 12v, 5v, 3.3v and 2x ground.. Everything that the 10pin Xbox power cables has..

Also you need a SPDT button and a Normal Off/On Button... "cheap on Ebay".

Maybe an LED if you want, I made my own LED from Cutting one of the small LED's off the end of my LED console mod..

Also you need a Box to keep it all in, I used an Old Jewellery box, small and hard but worked nice for me..



With all this you want Cut The Sata power at the End you don't need so it looks like this...

Then I soldered extra cables to end to make them longer..

Then Pull the Plastic end off the Xbox power so 1 end goes into Xbox drive, and all other ends are Lose...
1: The Xbox power Cable has 2x 12v, These solder Directly to the 1x 12v of the sata power "yellow"

2: Also has 4x Ground, which Solders to the 2x Ground of the sata power "black"

3: Also has 1x 5v which solders on the 1x 5v Sata power "RED"

4: also 1x 3.3v which Solders onto the 3.3v sata power "Orange"

5: You will have 2 more wires from the xbox, one is for Eject and other for mode b, I didn't use Mode B wire has it was useless for me and used for old Hit drives..

Any ways With this done, you want Cut the Ground cable and solder a new expansion cable from Ground, 3.3v and keep the end of the Eject lose...

Solder the Eject to Middle of SPDT, Ground to Right end, 3.3v to left, This will Eject the button and will work Perfect..

Img below Shows the Cable layout for Only a Xbox power drive from sata with Eject...

To add a Probe to get Key from Lite-on Need another Switch, and Cable with Pin at end...

The cable with Pin "to get Key" connects to Ground so Solder it to wire from Ground... The On/Off button has to CUT power from the 3.3v, you switch off when Jungle flasher asks for Power off then touch Probe on Board.

Also to Add LED "which goes OFF when Switch is off, you add - to Ground and + to 3.3v...

This layout img is Below.. Looks complicated but easier then it looks...
