Thanks for the warning. Would it seem that the problem is the laser
itself (in which case I would have nothing to lose by adjusting it) or
could it be with another component, and is simply masked by adjusting
the laserpot?


The lasers do go weak with age, if you've already cleaned the optics to the
best of your ability you have nothing to lose by tweaking the laser, just
don't tweak it any further than you have to.
