[QUOTE="Lasherž, post: 8715353, member: 679555"] Probably the best step is to get it out of the riveted box if you're going to be experimenting on it as a lost cause. I would drill the rivet heads and get to probing with a multimeter, you're looking for the main laser diode voltage for your adjustment reading, but there's a lot that can go wrong with a laser reader. I don't necessarily think small adjustments to the power of the laser would help or hinder the read ability in most circumstances since they were calibrated to work from the factory. I have a variable DC power supply which has come in super useful, but in lou of that you can always use a car charger or 12-15v ac to dc power brick so you can do all your testing indoors. Head units don't use much power, like 200mA idle and 700mA during CD loading which is the peak. At least the few that I've had hooked up to equipment. [/QUOTE]
