V5 laser problem.

[gigge]

Got a v5 and i barly reads any DVD games.

Original Silver DVD works mabey 30% of the time..

Original Blue DVD does not workt at all.

Blue DVD gives a very special error...

discs spins up
read from disc,
then it try to load the disc and stops
does spin in wrong direction (some turns, not long and very slow)
stops spins right direction again
red screen.

WTF ??

At this moment it is not modded.
Have only done cleaning of lens and not tuched any thing else...
Pot values 833 and 1130

Sounds like another dead v5 laser..I got 3, I think we are flogging a dead horse with the v5/v6 now, this fault is the same as one of mine..anyone for some scrap iron???

hmmmmmm....

sounds strange.. any way.. will try to revive this .. :D

Have a go at cleaning all the lenses and such inside the assembly (especially the angled mirror)..The pots on the v5 don't seem to respond well to tweaking...and those values seem about right..don't go below 600.I found one laser had a bad connection in the ribbon cable at the mobo end that caused some really strange faults!! best of luck :)
