Hi, do you think my lidar is OK? https://youtu.be/u49kYtvqlpU How can I test it more?

The printer is 20 months old approx. so I think I have old lidar.

I’ve had it pop messages on me often when it expects it is dirty, I guess you are not getting said message but still might try a cleaning if you have not.

There are lenses on the underside of the printhead. You need to find the section in the Wiki that talks about cleaning those lenses. Or if you’re mechanically inclined, just looking at the underside of the printhead it’s easy to spot the lenses. Hit 'em with a Q-Tip and some IPA and it should correct the problem.
