Cdfreaks.com reports that a new version of Flashfix has been released. With Flashfix you can easily flash your Lite-On drive with any firmware version.

The firmware update utility of Liteon/Jlms drives will sometime refuse to flash the drive. E.g: It will not allow to "downgrade" the firmware or to reflash with the same firmware version and it will refuse most OEM and all rebadged drives.

The Flashfix utility will patch many Liteon/Jlms Windows based firmware utilities so as to allow them to flash ANY drive. It does not change the firmware itself, it only disables the model/version checkup function of the flasher
