Soop, aren't the connectors on the other side of the board alongside the laser assembly? Doesn't make sense to place it underneath the board since you'll usually need a disc spinning to test the cd reader.
Ah, I'll check. I'd planned to temp solder some wire and clips to the pot and connect it to the multimeter that way.
Ok, I've just checked. The two test points, p103 and p104 are present on the other side, along with some connectors labeled p106 and 107 thaI can see, but no P5 or P6
