    New dx red 200mW....dead in a day!

    Haha FINALLY got a word from them back.... The email correspondent (Amelia) told me to look around for answers in forums (which I did way before she told me to). Ultimately I replied, that I have done ALL that I could to get it up and running but it ain't working, so is requesting them to send...

    It's been 4 days now, and DX hasn't give me an official reply... this is getting tiresome.

    DX 200mW Red Laser... ???

    Dude.... It's not a scam! DX 200mW dilda, or O like are all like a staple "diet" for all the laser forum guys man. It is THAT good. But just make sure you are lucky and get the ones which are build to last (: From what i hear, O like has excellent customer service, and they provide the batteries...

    New dx red 200mW....dead in a day!

    Sooo.... Is it safe to say that IF DX doesn't need me to ship the dead one back, I still can salvage the driver board, and that by switching the diode I'd have a working laser already?! Sexciting prospects! :crackup: Ok back to the serious stuffs, if so, do you guys know anyone who sells laser...

    Hmmm haha I do hope DX is on par with O like! (: If not I am seriously screwed. A defective diode makes a defective dilda, & that is really no fun... :yabbmad:

    Hmmm thanks for the quick reply! So is the LCC better? Or the SOC. :thanks: PS: So laserov, you are sure the ultrafires are safe to use on the laser?? Like really sure, because I have made another order for the same laser....

    New dx red 200mW....dead in a day!

    I agree. No way can my cr2s push more than 3.2V. So i guess it's just that i have a bad diode.... So do you guys think DX will change a new one for me? Wait let me try and get a picture of the diode in the dilda so that you guys can identify it.. I don't know the difference between Open can or...

    New dx red 200mW....dead in a day!

    My batteries are CR2s though... Not cr123. But is both built the same way? I mean mine did say on the printing that if fully charged, it will discharge at 3.2 volts and that's about it. I highly doubt a 0.2 volt difference will fry my board... Also some guys on the forum did also say that...

    New dx red 200mW....dead in a day!

    So you are saying that it's unsafe to use those CR2s rechargeables for the laser??? Man.... Screw those reviewers that said it was the perfect batteries for the dilda! :wtf: Ok, enough ranting. I did buy the charger that is said to go with the batteries. Here is the CHARGER I dunno whether it...

    New dx red 200mW....dead in a day!

    A bad diode you mean one that has a CONSIDERABLY shorter lifespan than a normal one? Or one that is DOA. Cause mine's definitely not DOA.... My guess is the rechargeables killed it. But I have no clue as to what exactly killed the laser.. BAH fml. Anyway I placed an order on DX for ANOTHER...

    New dx red 200mW....dead in a day!

    Hmmm the duty cycle of the dilda is supposedly < 5 mins. I am very sure I used it for less than that amount of time! All I did with the laser was the usual burning stuff, and it took no more than 10 seconds on each accounts. Also I do know how sensitive diodes are, and was really liberal with...

    New dx red 200mW....dead in a day!

    Firstly, I am new to this forum (: So please be nice everyone! I ain't too well verse in the technicalities of how a laser work, but I guess I know enough to not make a fool of myself here, with all the pros and such (: Just a normal guy playing with lasers here. Alright down to the issue. I...
