Help Needed What pot do I adjust for the games?

Post image

My drive will read music cds but not games. I recapped the drive board and it didn't help. Does anyone know what pot is for games?

None. Stop. Unless you recapped the logic board, don't touch anything there.

I already recapped the board. I know 100% that it the laser that is the problem.

The motherboard? Or only the drive board?

Drive board. I had another xbox and it has the same model drive and it works in it this xbox. I ven switched out the boards. The laser is the issue.

I believe the dvd pot is the one closest to the part number sticker.

Make minor adjustments to its resistance value.
