    Depends on the drive mate. If its a liteon on LT and you aint got the orig.bin file, its a much more difficult hack to get the info, if its any other revision of drive, then its much easier to get.

    ?40 for a reflash is obsurd though. ?10 max mate.

            shit i was just coming on to ask about this as i have an older liteon and a newer 9 series which was flashed elseware, the guys i got them done for havn't even got their boxes back from me yet, so just let me clarify b4 i run under next bus, "you cant flash straight over the older LT firmware, like you used to do with the older ixtreme versions, please tell me im wrong"

                  next time you get it flashed from someone else get your stock key off the guy so you can do it yourself the easy way.
