The instructions on the first post, and the printout that came with the hot option kit say: Is this no longer the case? How does the ring and heatsink stay together when tightening into the housing? Thanks!

Thanks, So sounds like you're saying to hook up the Aixiz module again (after discharging the flex)? This time, I'll do it on the bench first instead of installing everything and epoxying the heatsink!

Thanks, The current thru the 4 diodes (the 1.25 ohm resistor removed) is about 395.5 ma. Which I think is correct, no? I know you mentioned the voltage doesn't matter, but since I was already setup, I checked the voltage again across all the diodes and I'm seeing 3.6 volts! I'm also seeing...

Thanks, following the circuit on rog8811's site, I put 4 1N4001 diodes in series with a 1.25 ohm resistor (I didn't have a 1 ohm!). The output voltage from the flex circuit, is 6.45 volts. The 3v power supply (current limited to 400ma) shows the circuit drawing about 50ma. Pretty much the...

Ahh.. gatcha.. Well, I haven't powered the flex drive without the diode so that shouldn't be the cause of the problem. At the moment in order to measure the current, I'm using a bench power supply (current limited to 300ma), instead of the battery, to drive the flex. I'll put a load of a few...

Thanks, Not sure what is meant by correct testing connections... At this point, I'm just trying to isolate where the problem could be. I'll disconnect the diode, but what kind of load (ohms) should I put at the output of the flex circuit leads to test? What should be the voltage I see...

Hi, I purchased jayrob's hot option kit, and a 650nm laser diode (20x dvd burner) from hightechdeal, but not having too much luck getting it to work. When I put 3 volts onto the casing, it draws about 50ma (shouldn't it be near 350ma)? On the diode itself I measure about 6.5v! Is there any...
