Nice idea.
Traces still need to be cut, though.
Chances are good that if you can cut traces and install this,
you're capable to fixing the traces and desoldering aftarward.

hmm its interesting especially as you don't have to remove it later / repair the tracks. Id love to see a video/pic's of this being installed.

Sure you can to it the other way but I'm thinking purely fast install's and turn around.

oh well I've ordered 2 to give them a test.

Cheap...bought one just in case

[slayer902]

if this is to be removed after reading/flashing the fw, what extra steps need to be done to keep the drive working ??? anybody knows ??

[Drefsab]

At a guess you would have to bridge the tracks you cut, just like the other methods that are already out there

[hardie]

There will be a link on the site for installation guide soon

cheers for the post up - looks good


bookmarked for future ref

would lessen the chances of stuff ups like short circuits from soldering esp for the noobs

[saleem_hacks_360s]

sorry but,i dont like,it got 6 solder points there,just the fact it is a solder in place and no wires makes me think that it will be cause of more drive mess ups due to making people who dont know what they are doing think that they can pull it off. as it is you need just solder 6 points using boxxdr method,at east i can see where i am puting the wires,i can see above,below all round it.

just same situation as ck3 pro,some made it themselves and some bought,i did both but,i am sticking with boxxdr method all same.

[akumi]

other than cutting the trace, does this method require us to remove the top green layer at the solder points? coz most of my time is not spent on soldering but sanding those locations. would def love to see the whole install instructions.

What do you guys suggest to cut traces easily? I've done it before with a sharp razor blade, is there anything better one can use? It just made me nervous about messing up something or cutting into something else.

I use a thin grinding wheel on a dremel.

[barzi]

Can you install this (with traces cut), dump firmware, then remove this switch, and connect traces again?
And use the LT switch another time for another Lite-On drive (same way as described above)?

[tornadog]

almost ordered, but then read the fine print...still requires soldering skills...
