I have a Creative 12x40 DVD-Rom and the laser pod(I guess thats right) is out of alignment. There are 2 small screws next to each other on the laser lens. I know this is the problem because it did read DVD's just fine but had seeking problems with CD's. Well I took it apart and started messing with each(I know I ain't bright) and now it won't read either at all. I know this is most likely unfixable but when both screws are tightend is there maybe a certain degree I can turn them? Like a complete 360 turn or does anyone know the exact degree the screw needs to be turned?

I am pretty sure one is for DVD's and the other for CD. Anyone have any info or should I just toss it in the trash?
 
Should be two lenses - one for DVD and one for CD. The adjustments are extremely fine - think microns. Those things are normally opened in a clean room. I would seriously consider a replacement. 🙂
 
I got a set-top so I won't be buying another DVD-Rom anytime soon. I was just trying to fix this and maybe give it to a friend. But it maybe impossible now. I don't want to have to turn my PC off and on 100 times just to try and get the setting right.

It ain't worth damageing any other component(mainly my HD) to try and fix it.
