Hi andreldarchy,

Yes you can flash that Liteon DG-16D4S drive to LT 3.0, as I have done many myself. It has to be either a 9504 drive or 0225 drive though.

If it's a winbond chipset then you would have to do kamakaze hack, which can be risky. If it's a MXIC chipset you can do the russian hack, where you just solder a resistor to the drive pcb and cut a trace on the drives pcb, which is much safer and easier than the kamikaze hack. Remember, before using either method, to back up your Dvd key first using slimkey method with x360usb pro or sata/usb cable with a compatible pc sata chipset.

Hope this info helps ;)
