Is there some other definition of internal? =^..^=

TO BE PRECISE

1.situated or existing in the interior of something; interior.

2.of, relating to, or noting the inside or inner part.

Hearkening back to my first post, I made sure of these things before posting, specifically to avoid speculation and doubt, so that someone might chime in from an electronic standpoint.

That's a pretty condescending tone there Henry.
Like others, I have my doubts too, so if you want advice, please just answer this question with a simple 'yes' or 'no':
Have you removed the covers of the machine, disconnected and removed the laser unit. Removed the cover of the laser unit and thoroughly cleaned inside it?
