Yeah, I'm not removing anything. I'm hoping I can get the bluray to work, but if I can't, then so be it. If you haven't been following the ordeal, I can get a dvd to play in it, just not a bluray. That's why I'm fiddling with the pot settings. The optical drive works, just won't read a bluray like it should. I've read several articles and watched several videos of people doing a before and after so I'm pretty confident I won't burn anything out. I don't think I'm going to be turning too far, I think I'll just be turning a single pot down a tad. I'm not supposed to twist further than an eighth of a turn on any of the pots, and if that doesn't work then I'll set it back to it's original setting. But since this one's being replaced by a newer model, I don't give a shit if I break it. It's already proven to be shit anyway.
