aww that sucks, big thanks to everyone that helped me :)

Hi again, i tried the diode with a 1.5v battery but it didnt work so i tred it with 2 x 1.5v AAA batteries and it lighted up a weak red light, is it damaged or will it work with a driver ?=)

My computer have been broken so i could not reply ^^ where can i get one of those prepaid credit cards? And i will try with a AAA battery tomorrow LarryDFW :)

the problem is that i'm just 15 years old and i can't use my credit card over the internet until i'm 16 because my bank wont allow that : /

argh, this is the 3nd diode i destroyed x(

okay, but i don't know where + and - are on the driver ^^ there are 3 different ways to put the pins :s

crap :S any way to check if it's killed?

The diode is soldered to the green laser driver as you see but it didn't work ^^ sry for crappy image, was taken with my phone :P

okay, thanks again x)

So i only need a regulator, 2 resistors and a capacitor ?:O thought it was really complicated to make a driver first ^^ Btw , will a LM317T work instead of a LM317 and what is mfd? i have a couple of capacitors but they just have volts and uf.

thank you so much :D merry x-mas

hmm okay, i have no money so i can't buy one but is there any way that i can build a cheap driver myself or modify the green one so it works ? i have a broken green laser but the driver is working that's why i want to use it ^^

Hello, I just got a DVD-RW laser diode and is it possible to use it with a 20mW green laser driver from dealextreme? and if it's possible, how do i know how i should set the pot? Thank you for helping :san:

Hmm, threw it away now but thanks for helping x)

i'm sure this is a diode because it was behind some focusing glass and there was no other things that looked like a diode there :P i also have a focusing thing for a green laser that i can use for this ir laser to get a nice beam.

Just doing it for fun :P and yes i have a magnifying glass to focus it.

Hello, i just extracted a IR diode from a broken cd player but it looks kinda weird so i don't know where i should connect the battery :) here is some pictures so you know what i mean :ImageShack - it has a small driver thing with a pot and i guess that the glass thing is the IR laser. any1 know...

**Problem solved, the battery was broken** Hello, I modified my dealextreme 20mW green laser into a flashlight case and i need to use cr123a batteries in the new case for everything to fit. The problem now is that the laser wont work with the cr123a batteries, just with 2aaa batteries. I...
