Symptoms

• System won't read discs

Solution

• Make sure all the cables are plugged in properly
• Listen/watch to see if the disc spins
• Clean debris out of the disc drive
• If disc doesn't spin, replace spindle motor
• If laser doesn't move, replace laser motor
• Adjust the POT on the laser. Measure the POT first. Counterclockwise decrease the resistance and clockwise increases the resistance. The less resistance, the more power the laser has. The more you decrease the resistance, the higher chance the laser has of burning out and burning rings into your discs. Adjust the pot slowly counter clockwise. decrease only about 50 to 100 ohms. If this doesn't fix the laser issue, replace the laser.
• Replace laser
