Liteon V2? Dg-16d2s Fw:83850c Options

[DARKFiB3R]

I can't read German, but apparently a new LiteOn has been spotted in Germany DG-16D2S FW:83850c

Seems they haven't been able to flash it yet ether

Google translated (still makes no sense to me lol)

Just a heads up, what do you guys make of it?

So what did they do with this firmware revision? If they moved the location of the key then getting 0's would make sense. any links to places that are talking about this? just dont link me to the firmware download

Well if that's the case, they might be able to just change some of the software to be able to find the key.

I am a bit surprised m$ has not implemented any kind of newer un-modable drive yet. But then again they are m$

Well they made this deal with liteon and moved on from Benq. So they probably have to buy so many for a contract.

Think about it, they have tried so much in an effort to stop firmware modding, hitachi 78/79, epoxy on chips, new benq drive, new liteon drive. All have failed to prevent it. So what is their next trick up their sleeve?

i don't think they "moved on" from benq, i think liteon actually acquired benq.

you are right though, ms is constantly trying to stop firmware mods, and its a never ending game of cat and mouse.

yeah, liteon and benq's optical division are one in the same.

where in the hell did you hear this? lite-on has most certainly not "acquired" benq. aside from making an xbox drive once upon a time, benq makes some amazing products. including, imho, some of the best consumer LCDs and short-throw projectors available.

Where in the the hell did you get such a strong opinion on something you don't know about? Yeah Lite-On didn't acquire BENQ in whole but we are talking about optical drives here. Guess what? Lite-On did acquire BENQ's optical drive division, years ago.
Here is a story about it.
