naw...thats not actually the problem i was having. and i tryed adjusting the pot for the laser with no sucess. I took it to a friend of mine and he deemed it to be a damaged laserKyosho wrote:You may have already figured this out by now, judging by your last post date. But, I had a similar problem when I built my PSOneP. The problem was that I was trying to make the laser move up and down. Like, okay, the way the handheld was, the disc is spinning vertically. And the track the laser was on ran up and down instead of side to side. And the motor just couldn't take it. A quick redesign of my case (which was easy enough seeing as my first case was cardboard, haha), and a 90 degree rotation fixed this issue.atomfitz wrote:Ok...so ive started on my own gamecube handheld and its coming along smoothly...ive got the controller apart and wired to the p1 port and everything out of the case and optimised for size but im having a problem that im sure people know easy fixes for...

...soooo can anybody help me?
thx.
If this isn't the case, you might have to adjust the pot on the laser assembly. There's some posts around here that tell you how to do that. Might just need to turn it up a bit.
but thanks anyways. i probably wouldnt have thought about the gravity problem with the laser and ill keep that in mind now.
