i think this is the link:

it's 5 pages long and the stuff on page 4 (adjusting the little wheel that sets the angle of the laser) is what did it for me.....using the pen to mark the level and adjusting a couple of clicks one way or the other did the trick.....good luck....

I agree with the boston references for Simmons....but he's a big NBA fan and so am I....he loves video games and so do I.....and he loves Las Vegas and so do I......so like you, I'll put up with way too many Red Sox articles.......I wish I knew as many movie references as he did though.....

Good luck on the PS2 repair......keep us posted of the progress......
