Nintendo Gamecube Laser Potentiometer Repair

I found another Nintendo Gamecube that wasn't reading discs. I had already done a video on how to repair these but I didn't use a multimeter to check the potentiometer (pot). I decided to do that in this video and show you the reading. The correct resistance for a working Gamecube laser (or motor, if you will) is between 150 ohms and 250 ohms. Stay tuned for what the number was for this one to work.

By the way, I skipped over the disassembly part of this process. If you want to see me do that then watch this other Gamecube repair video I also have here on Rumble:

Also, I the potentiometer range from this video here on Rumble. Make sure you give him some love for his perspective:
