My ps2 has a neo 4.1. After about day 3 of having it, it stopped booting cdrs. First thing I did was rip it apart and head for the CDR laser pot. Unfortunately I did not install the Neo 4.1 so this changed the territory especially when I had only worked on my previous V1 ps2. There are wires criss crossed all around the metal plates in it so I would end up pulling something on that chip if I tried to keep going after the pot so I put it back together and luckly didn't break it anymore then it was. The only thing that boots are dvds and the tray still kicks out and boots dvdr so I know the chip still works. So I need someone that can adjust my pot or else replace my laser. From what I have gathered lasers are like gold now with everyone and there mother burning them out. Any advice on repair shops?

any advise on how to clean the inside without opening the console or how to open it without removing the sticker?
