Thats interesting, the only other diode that I have killed was a red and it LEDed too. Probably something to do with red diode design that make them more prone to that. My host is actually an Aurora that I machined my own heatsink for. It was fun to buy a cheap lathe and make every part of...

Ok Good...well not good but at least I know for sure. I have already ordered a replacement, then started second guessing if that was the actual problem. So it is possible for a diode to not LED. Learned something new!

Hi all, I am hoping for some troubleshooting insight on one of my recent builds. I am running a 445nm A140 diode from a microboost controller in a 18650 powered host. After I finished construction everything was working properly. I ended up selling the entire laser to a friend. After about...

I just wanted to provide some finality to this thread and let everyone know that Kiyoukan has provided me a refund for my outstanding lens. All of my concerns regarding the transaction have been resolved.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE FOLLOWING HAS BEEN RESOLVED. Basically, I ordered and paid for two of his 445nm diodes and two glass lenses on 8/26/2010. I was promptly shipped two 445nm diodes and one glass lens. On 9/12/2010 I sent a quick PM to let him know the situtation and he basically told me his...

FYI, I am DeVore the mystery buyer. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help.

This might be me...I'd say kick'em out but that probably wouldn't get me a very nice welcome. :angel: I can wait if need be. I still have other parts to learn about an order before I am ready to use these anyway... How long would the wait be?
