How to increase laser of the GD-rom?

[Michal]

Hi all ;)
Today have applied the mod to my dc and would know how to increase the laser intensity...Someone tells that under the laser cover there is a switch or a similar thing but i didn t see anything...so please tell me where I have to put my hands ;)
Bye.
...I forgot...I got a European dc.

The topic's should be renamed to "How to kill my Dreamcast 20X Faster Than Normal"

Yes modifying the laser does nearly half the life of your DC, because the laser now has to work 2X as hard on CD-RWs, CD-Rs, and even original game discs. It is a stupid mod and should not be attempted by anyone

The laser need not be modified unless your a cheap asshole who wants to use CD-RWs instead of CD-Rs. Another thing about CD-RWs, you only get two full good burns to them, and usually they are worthless afterwards. So break down and buy CD-Rs instead.

Thanks ;) but i know which would be the consequences.
I have to increase the laser of my dc cause it don t want to read my games...sometimes it reads and sometimes not...this dc was given me from a friend of mine and I am trying to make it working.
So...can you tell me how to increase the laser a bit more? I only want to try if it will solve the not read problem.
Thanks.

But I suggest you read the re-done, and fully comprehensive FAQ on dccopyworld.com's homepage, it addresses several issues like you are describing.
