To fix the problem we need to make the above sled perfectly horizontal again, the simplest way to do this is to add a small piece (approx. 3mm by 5mm ) of sheet metal around 0.3mm thick to the sled unit at the position shown in the diagram below. You can use the metal cover from an old floppy disk and then cut it with a sharp pair of scissors. The piece can be glued in place with a tiny amount of super glue.

While the glue sets re-lubricate the sled rails with some decent quality grease, white lithium if possible silicon grease is also good. You can then reassemble your laser assembly and set up the BIAS control again. Your machine should now work fine.
