[Headly]

I can't find any signs that anyone has tried to solder to this board so I doubt that anything has been fried that way, though I am sure that other things can and do happen. However, I did upon even more inspection find damage to the laser. It seems that the screwhead on the CD pot has been almost completely removed. There is nothing remaining of the part that the phillips head would fit into. All that is left is a tiny (2mm at most) piece of metal around the edge. Most of the contact surface underneath is clearly visible. This does answer my laser not working and leads me to beleive that it is the root of the disc not spinning problems. Could this also cause the screen not to display at all?
When I start the TV remains on a blue screen as though no signal is being sent.
