My laser is dead... help identify diode

[adam212]

Hi I am new to this forum. My laser is dead. It is supposed to be a 2W 445nm laser module . I am not sure which diode should I replace it with. Is it possible to identify this 5.6mm LD from this photo?

Hi,
If you want to replace the 2W diode just buy a M14 diode they will do 2+w at 1.8A .
You can get it from Barnett unlimited on Ebay for cheap.

Out of curiosity, how did it die? Heat, overcurrent, ESD?

I was messing with the driver using my multimeter
