    Tony.... as I started the thread you are refering to ...as an experienced installer and a member of this forum for 2 years prior to you.....

    I am telling you that the idea is and was not stupid....it has actually originated from my respected fellow members in the past ie Shadowknight,Albert35 (neofix) and SumOne have all mentioned and in some cases recommended it.

    Just to clear this issue up.

    Robot...I agree...Tony contributes and gains respect for this...but did seem to get to get "too excited" in his own words.

    You're gonna be reburning a lot of dvds if you're not careful with them. If you're using good media and burning them at slow speeds and never putting a scratch on them. Wouldn't the laser not need to use it's full capacity to read it? If you cripple the laser would it have that much of an affect? I don't know, I haven't tested but my rule is to not mess with the laser if it's brand new. Install a fix. I rather leave it at original where it's guarantee to read rather than cripple it.

    i tested a scratched disk with the pot adjustment and it worked fine . The pot adjustment will effect media with a poor refective rate witch kills the laser

    As I mentioned in previous post,this is for v13 with wide laser only...as the guys were recommending.
    Other than this, there is no other fix for the wide laser.
