rayeasom thank you for your answer I was led to believe that this could be fixed by messing with some gear inside the system, I am glad I waited for an answer on here before pulling apart my system with incorrect knowledge and lacking a crucial replacement part...I will be giving this my best attempt once I acquire a replacement laser assembly thanks again!
