Please help, PSX2 CDs load slow....

[dluft]

I ordered a modified neo###. I followed instructions on adjusting the laser to 600 ohms since I used Verbatim media, no luck getting backups to work. Now all non-DVD CDs load slow, making a load humming sound like the laser is trying to scan. The games still work, just with lengthy load times through each screen. I adjusted back to the original 977 ohms, it didn't fix the problem. Is my CD laser screwed?? Thanks for any help.
