I was trying to flash my Lite-On. From my understanding, you could flash those. I ejected the drive, then pressed the eject button again, and before it closes, I was supposed to un-plug the drive power. Did that fine. I plugged it back in, and it started smoking. Now, how do I retrieve the key from it now to put in a new drive? Or can I?

did you plug the sata cables upside down, you might be able to get the DVD key, make sure the cables are plugged in properly then proceed with the DVD flashing as you normally would pm me if you need anymore help

Try plugging it in, also i'd suggest buying a Probe. Because you know nothing will go wrong. Make sure its all plugged in and try it. It might not be broken.

Sounds like you might of connected a wrong point on the drive which could of caused a short circuit. If that is not the case, you might of plugged in the power incorrectly, which could have fried the drive. The only way to find out if your drive is still good, is to actually plug the drive in to a computer and see if it is still running. If it is still running, make sure you actually probe the correct point, and you should be able to get the DVD Key. If the DVD is fried, then you wont be able to get the DVD Key from it, you will have to get the Key from your Motherboard which you can google up, or you can find someone in the marketplace that would do it.

if it was smoking you obviously crossed the power cable when you plugged it in and it fried your pcb, GOOD JOB
