There is a web site at http://ncc2315.com/ilo/ and more specifically for the
LVW-5045 at http://ncc2315.com/ilo/5045/index.htm that has a program that
will take whatever current version of your ILO/LiteOn standalone and it will
make the proper changes to the firmware file for you. then you just burn to
cdr and boot the disk in the burner. You do not need to know how to use a hex
editor to do it.
