Laser Current Measurement
1. Turn on the media center and insert a disc. Insert a DVD when measuring the DVD laser
current and a CD when measuring the CD laser current.
2. Measure and record the voltage at the points 5V and L5V referenced to the ground shown in
figure 6.
3. Subtract L5V from 5V (5V-L5V) and record the laser voltage (LmV).
LmV/1 Ohm equals laser current (LC).
4. The measured laser current value should be ± 20% of the printed current rating on the pickup
head (PU). PU- .20PU < LC <PU + .20PU. Refer to figure 6 for the location of the laser current
rating. If the value is out of range, and the lens has been cleaned, replace the DVD/CD assembly.
