I’ve never seen anything like that before. 534 ohms SHOULD have killed the laser almost instantly.

I say try adjusting it anyway. If your laser is messed up, you only have two options to fix it. Buy a new laser right away $40 B type, $70 C type. Or try cleaning and adjusting, it doesn’t cost you anything. Of course, if it still reads originals you might want to just sell the thing.

I had my V4, bought it broken and I got it working good around 850 ohms for a year or so then messing with cheap media it started to go bad again for all backups. Dropping it to 700 killed the laser instantly, back to 850 and it wouldn’t even try to read an original anymore. 700 ohms finished her off in a snap.
