questions about modding a slim ps2

[sublime90]

that figures. i was just taking the laser and putting it in. i have a multimeter but have no idea how to use it lol i bought a 20 dollar one from radioshack and when ever i set it to ohms and put it on my laser it says -0 the OL every single time on every setting. another thing i was thinking is to mail the cd drive part of the ps2 to the place i bought the laser from have them adjust it/install it so when i receive it all i have to do it plug it to my ps2. the laser i have now i think is as good as dead i manually rotated the dvd screw on the laser very small turns but it never worked

You need to send the complete console to the laser installer. I have never seen 2 consoles set exactly the same. This way you know its correct.

ok i emailed them asking if they do installs. i have a few questions on actually using the ohm reader to measure the voltage of the laser, this might sound stupid but ive never done it so i dont know how. im assuming the ps2 has to be powered on while you try to get a reading, what numbers should the laser be at, i read some where it should be around 1200-1500 ohms i dont know if this is accurate. if i can some how save this laser that would be great but if i cant they are willing to let me exchange it for a new one
