-[title] Game read test
-[* black] Put the laser back in the PlayStation and to a read test to see how many games you can get to read. If you can get 80%, this should be what you try for. You ideally want something higher then 80% if you can get it You should go for 90% or better.
-[* black] To test the read percentage, put a certain amount of games in the system. You can use as many games as much as you want but 5 games is more then enough to get a good idea on how well the laser works. ***While you are doing this read test, do not adjust the laser until you finish testing the current adjustment.***
-[* black] If you can get the game to load, play each game on the system for a little bit and see if any issues come up. Take notes of any problems that come up during the play test. Games that do not load should be failed, while games with problems should have such issues noted.
-[* black] If you want to try for a better read percentage, adjust the laser further and repeat this test. At some point you will get too fast and no games will read. Once you get to this point, back off until you find the sweet spot on your particular laser.
+[title] Testing the average game read percentage
+[* black] Reverse disassembly of the system. Once the system is reassembled, test a few games and see what the system does. If you adjusted it too much and the laser does not try, dial it back a little bit until it no longer happens. The ideal number is 80-90% of games read successfully.
+[* black] To test the read percentage, get a few known good games and put them in the system. I recommend a minimum of 5 test games or more. ***Note: While performing a read test, do not do further adjustments until you have the results in hand and you are not satisfied with what you got.***
+[* black] If you can get the game to load, play each game on the system for a little bit and watch for any playback problems. If an issue comes up, take note of it. If this happens, make a note and make sure it isn't something with that game in your system, as this is sometimes the case with some model systems.
+[* black] ***Improving the read percentage:*** If you are not happy with the results, adjust the laser assembly further. Once this is done, try again. If you hit the point where the motor doesn't try and spin the game at the right speed, go up or dial it back a little bit more. Once you find the sweet spot, keep it there and do not adjust further.
[* icon_note] If you see the ***Insert PlayStation CD-ROM*** screen, you are going too slow for the system to read the game. If you see this happen, you will need to increase the trimpot further.
+[* black] ***Having a reference system:*** If you have a second system on hand, use this to develop an average for how well your repaired system holds up against a working system that does not have a laser problem. You can also use this to gauge the success of the repair on your bad system a well.
