No it can't. It lists that as the first track. I hit play, and absolutely nothing happens. If I try to skip to the next track, it just goes to track 0 which is 0min, 0sec.

I guess I'll look more into adjusting the laser.

I'm calling it a night.

Thanks for all the suggestions so far everyone.

**UPDATE (for anyone who cares)**

Without being able to fix my issue...

I messaged the seller on eBay. He felt my pain, and instead of making me spend $12.00 shipping a broken console back to him, he offered to send me a free Saturn when he gets a hold of one (which apparently happens somewhat regularly), and just let me keep the broken unit to sell for parts or whatever. Which is pretty nice - since this one came w/ an original box that I was slightly reluctant to send back.

I'll keep an eye on things, and hopefully this guy ain't yankin' my chain.

I know exactly what you're talking about. I attempted that, but I was turning it counter-clockwise (like it was explained to me in a youtube vid).

I'll be sure to try turning the other way now.

THANKS!
