Yes, I'll do anything since there's no other choice but I don't understand your statement by "powering it with a stable current source (we usually use something from LM317 or same family of regulators) and see if it lases."
My 1000mw green laser pointer was working fine. I charged the battery and slotted it in I think the wrong side and then the laser is no longer working.
I dismantle the whole thing to check and couldn't figure what is wrong. Could some expert here please teach me where should I check to see if...
