What revision is it?
If it's a B, better flash it.
mine says iHAS124 WLook at the info sticker.
Should say Liteon iHAS 124 B
that's what im gonna doSeems it's not compatible then.
I'd return it if I where you.
You can do a DVD drive flash or a Xkey.
I'd go with an Xkey.
Nope.
Phatties won't need a RGH to extract the DVD key ;]
Just find someone that wants to extract your DVD key.
Shouldn't be that expensive.
Or you can do it yourself if your SATA chipset is compatible.
