I had a 360 with a dead (BenQ) drive. I replaced the optical pickup assembly with a new one and the console worked fine for a couple weeks. My son then complained one day that it began making loud noises. He ejected the game he had been playing and found that the laser lens had been driven up into the disc creating concentric scuff marks on the disc.

When I replaced the optical pickup, I did not make any pot adjustments. Could this be the cause? I still have the old pickup, so would it be simply a matter of reading the values from the old pots and setting the new ones to the same values?

Thanks,

Steve.

I've heard of this happening before on other systems. I have never replaced a laser in a drive, so I can't tell you for sure about the POT calibration. I would think that a POT calibration wouldn't be a bad idea, though.

There are 2 screws I believe that will raise or lower the height of the laser rail assembly. If those are possibly too tight, the laser might be sticking up too far.
