laser drive problem

[mustis]

I posted this in the MI forum as well since I am not sure whether it is a modchip problem or not. If that is not allowed I will delete one.

I am completely stumped and I'm not sure what to do with this problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I just installed a MI greendot on a Version 9 USA console. I have double checked all points and successfully completed the romeo mod.

When I power on the console the laser moves all the way to the spindle (center of drive) and then makes a clicking sound for a few seconds. The worm motor keeps spinning for a few seconds even though the laser has hit the spindle. I have checked and the laser assembly is hitting the little button to tell it to stop..yet the worm motor spins for a few seconds regardless.

It will not load games just by opening and putting the game in. I have to open the dvd drive top and slide the laser assembly away from the spindle and then put the disc in to make it work. The modchip is working fine and loads cds/dvds/movies (backups and originals).

Is there some point that could cause this or is it something to do with the laser assembly?
