I have just got another CD-RW drive and would really appreciate some advice. The model is LTR-52327S, unit is made by LITE.ON CORP and the speed is 52x32x52x. Can any one tell me if the diode would be suitable for using.

Hi odic, for my lack of knowledge but is the driver you sell a Rckstr?

Many thanks

Thanks Lasersbee. I did find that info myself using a google search. I said that i could not find any info about this drive on this forum. Maybe i should have made my self clearer,i was asking if the diode in this drive would be suitable and powerful enough to use in a build. Thanks for your reply.

I have looked for info about this drive LG GSA-4081B DVD but cant find anything on the forum. Can anybody tell me if this is worth harvesting? Many thanks.

A hello from me. Im still learning down here in sunny Devon.

Try odicforce lasers, they are very helpful and quick delivery.

I have managed to go through the diodes and the first two i tried were the reds. I snapped the first one as the pins were very sort but the second one i have hooked up to the driver and it works really well. The info regarding the irs from RA_pierce seems to be good as the other diodes have...

Thanks for the info. I have had a quick look at them and they all have windows.

Im going to have a go at sorting them tomorrow. With the ir diodes,how much does the ir spread? Also, i have a housing with a lens that i could put each diode into before powering up. Would this help contain the spread of the ir?

I will try them out this weekend. Im a bit concerned about the ir danger. I have some red laser googles.will these be okay for protection?If not, what precautions could i take,apart from getting some ir glasses?

Thanks very much for your help. If i take some pictures of the individual diodes would it be possable to identify them?

I also have this sled,or whats left of it, any ideas which diode is which?

The strips from all 4 of them,from both drives seem the same thickness. But i have now discovered that two of them have two pins and the other two have three pins. i Couldnt tell straight away as the solder on the pins was so much.

Ah,slight problem there,i have now removed them from the sleds.
