It's an OEM version of the 5232K. Some OEM customers thought that 52x was too fast (noise plus risk of exploding disc) and requested that LiteOn provide them with a more sane 48x version. The 5232K and 4832K are identical in terms of hardware.

If you still have your 4832K firmware, please send it to dhc014. It's a novelty worth having.

I have a new Compaq computer (SR1110NX) and it came with a Lite-On SOHC 4832K (OPK3) CD-Writer drive. It's not available on the website. Is it true that it's really a 5232k? It's actually FASTER then what it tells me is?

If this is true, where can I get the firmware or driver updates to change the speeds of my drive? Also I am experiencing slow lead-ins when burning a CD, anyone know the cause of that?

Thanks for all the help!

1/ Make a backup of your firmware in case you want to revert (no need to send it to anyone because we already have a copy of OPK3). Use LtnFW for this.

2/ Download the latest 5232K firmware. FlashFix and flash.

See the tools sticky for both FlashFix and LtnFW...

Anyone has seen the original 48x firmware or can help ?

Maybe the Sony CRX320E firmware with the downshift to 40x (turbo mode 52x by holding eject for 5s), might be useful
http://codeguys.rpc1.org/firmwares.html

Did the turbo/deturbo mode survive the +/-R speedpatch?

I have another 52x Sony (CD-ROM), and it reads a lot better in deturbo - I was itching to hack it to 52x Liteon, but after comparing the turbo results, any gain in speed is thrown away in retries at the high speed end.

sorry for the late reply. I flashed to Sony CRX320x, but the results are nearly the same. At the moment I think there is a hardware damage of the drive, that there are so many read problems. Writing is normally workin.....
I keep on testin and will inform you

My Lite-on combo SOHC-4832k CD-RW/DVD ROM will not recognise cd or dvd disc. I took it from HP PC and placed it in my PC, it read a cd for a couple of minutes and then stopped responding. I have not been able to make it read another disk since. Is it that I need a driver or firmware to make it work. The drive is recognised in the Devise Manager and it says that it is working fine. I need some serious help.

a firmware update will not help solving read problems. maybe the laser is dying or already dead. or there's just dust in the drive.

It is most likely not firmware related. Did it used to work before? If so, then it's definitely not firmware related.

It sounds like that your drive has become physically damaged somehow (or it might just be a dust problem; sometimes lens cleaning might help).

It's not a dvd burner.

By Combo it means read cd and dvd, but only write to cd-r/rw.

I could use it too. g_alan_e@yahoo.com I flashed it with the 5232K firmware and it manages to be both slow and noisy, and refuses to boot from a CD-RW. It will boot from a CD-R or DVD+R, but extremely slowly.

Must not be quite exactly a 5232K with OEM firmware.

I want to put the latest firmware from HP on it but HP's flashing apps refuse to touch it with the Lite-On firmware on it.

The download from HP can be extracted and there's an .iso image with a couple of .bin files, but are they useable with mktflash.
