Hey all, I was wondering whether anyone was in Melbourne, Australia and could help me out getting my laser to work. I'm fairly sure I've wired everything correctly and just want to get some real life assistance :D Cheers!

Okay, thanks. I just wanted to know which part needed replacing.

Cheers daguin. The laser actually started working now. Turns out the buzzing from the driver was just a bad connection since sparks had to jump across a gap and the heating up is mainly where the heatsink is, and not where the driver is. Everything is fine except for the fact that it isn't...

Thanks for your replies guys. Zeebit, it gets a noticeable warm feeling after 30 seconds and quite hot at 1 minute. Cromagnum, I am still using the first diode. I thought Blord had said that my driver was fried, not my diode..could it have been my diode though? I read somewhere that too much...

Hey all, This is my third thread, my second one being posted just yesterday. My laser now works, but it isn't as powerful as I hoped it to be. The host heats up after around 30 seconds of being on. Attached is a photo of the laser. There is not even a beam. The specs are as follows: Aurora C6...

Thanks for all your replies! Daguin, I tried directly connecting everything together, but when I do that, the driver makes a small buzzing noise and the pill heats up, but there is still no light. What do you reckon that could be? Cheers

Yeah, I accidentally got a blob there. I didn't think it would matter since it's making physical contact anyway. I don't think my host came with a brass ring. The driver fit in perfectly though.

Hey all, I've recently finished an Aurora C6 build, but it just doesn't turn on. I have checked the batteries and they are charged. I have attached some photos to see if anyone can see what the problem is. Thanks! (Diode is LPC826, driver is Mohgasm 478mA and batteries are Trustfire 18340...

I think I'm just going to trust Cube777 on this one :D

Thanks Cube777! Blord, I'm using this lens: AixiZ Red Laser Glass Lens 635-670nm, AixiZ

Here's the picture: Cheers for all the help. Appreciate it.

Would this be suitable? Mohgasm 428mA Round linear driver circuit [MOHR428] - $12.99 : Cajunlasers Store How do I know how much voltage it runs on? (to make sure I don't blow another driver) Also, when I shined my laser on the wall, the dot was more of a line. Is this normal? (Sorry about all...

OH, thank you so much Blord! I had always thought that the 1.5V was used from the 3.7V and there was another leftover 2.2V for the diode to run on, which is what the operation voltage was. I guess it made sense in my head. Off I go to buy a 3.7V driver! +1 rep :D

Thanks for the quick replies! I just measured the current through my multimeter again, and now the current is only 0.006A (6ma). When I change the setting on my multimeter from A to mA, it reads 0.09mA. Real strange. Which driver could you all recommend?
