I have done this a couple of times but no more than 5 mins otherwise the life of the diode will be shortened
mark it before you touch it so you can go back to its original position

You should never do this with a brand new laser. If you have to do this, then some thing is wrong either with laser or laser mech electronics.

If I reboot the console it stays on a black screen and seems to spin the disc without ever loading tried it on an original game and a copied CDR which I know worked before.
It sounds like it can spin at different speeds and the orange light is on the console as normal.

What were your original symptoms, as you could have a dodgy laser. Even new, you can get the odd one that is duff.
If you hold door open and push something into the door close switch, does laser actuate and shine laser (DO NOT look directly at laser)?
