I think I might have messed up big time...
okay, so, first off, I accidentally touched the laser thingy...it seemed to wiggle, and now none of my games are reading. do I need to mess with the potentiometer screw? do I need to find a replacement GD-ROM, or do I just need to clean the lens? I am very sorry if I didn't give enough info on this, I am just an idiot who messed up big time...

Just clean the lense with isopropyl alcohol. 99% is best, but 90%, 70% etc .... should be fine. If that doesn't work, then you might have pushed down too hard and broke it

will I need to remove it from the console in order to clean it? or should it be fine just sitting in there?

Just do not lick it. When I was a kid there was always that one kid that would lick the connector on the NES carts, claiming it would help.......... it didn't
