This might help. I didn't have that problem but sounds like he did.

Go down to the second post on the screen. That might be what you are talking about.

I bought a whole deck and then found out it'd be harder to replace that then just the laser. So I took the laser off the deck and swapped it with the broken one. Maybe that is why I didn't have to do anything with the laser it's self.
