Potentiometer


POT stands for potentiometer, an apparatus that measures the potential (or voltage) which has a user-adjustable resistance. Usually, this is a three-terminal resistor with a sliding contact in the center. Basically, it tells the laser how bright to shine to resolve issues of the drive not reading media.

The potentiometers or pots are located in the laser head's side if you want to try and adjust them. Just be careful in adjusting them though, because it's known to kill some lasers. Most gamers suggest not going below 3.0 when adjusting your pots.

Download and follow this step by step guide on how to tweak your pot made by Moda from Xbox-scene. A lot of people swear on the effectivity of this tutorial.
