Assaf,

Do the flashlight test to see if all is well.
When it comes time to achieve focus, you will need to be VERY patient. It
took me several hours over a couple of nights the first time. If you need
further help, research the mapug archives for excellent articles by Guido
Pasi & Michael Hart.

Good luck.
Alan
