did my green laser die ?

[australialaser]

hey everyone today i was playing with my green laser then the power slowly started to go out then i pressed the button again then it completely died out did my laser die?

Do not look down the hole for any reason. Point it close to a white piece of paper and turn it on, and see if you see a faint red glow on the paper.

This may seem like a silly question, but...

Have you tried changing the batteries?

From your description, the only thing that died are the batteries (or battery).

 

[australialaser]

yes ive changed the batteries to fresh and old ones still didnt help :/

Unscrew the front part and put it in your pocket for a few minutes. If you're near a cold climate they might need to warm up. My Green lasers do this every winter. Let your body heat warm up the crystals so they shift and try to turn it on.

He's from Australia... it's summer here at the moment

I agree with TJ, try turn it on in front of a white piece of paper. Alternatively I can have a look at it for you if you rather.

It is very strange idea of having a X-mas in the summer. :san:

Do the laser rattle if you shake it ? Could be loose crystals rolling around.

You can also use most digital cameras to detect if there is any IR (invisible) light coming out of the aperture.

yea i tried warmimg up it still didnt work its the only green laser i have :/ i cant get another one here

 

[Tech_Junkie]

Why wont you do as I asked? I'm trying help you out, and you're ignoring me.

Or are you just fishing for Aussies that will sell you a another laser?

 

[australialaser]

hey sorry Tech_Junkie for ingonring you :/ i did what you said there was no faint red glow and i didnt look inside it, then i got the module out of the host and wired the batteries to the driver then it started to work lol

 

[Blord]

It must be a malfunction button then.

It must be a malfunction button then.

that or the spring on the driver has loose contacts

 

[australialaser]

hmmmm i was just checking the button then all of a sudden the button got pushed in all the way and then the button became loose

 

[australialaser]

my green laser isnt still working i soldered a new button on and new spring but still didnt work its turns on but the power goes off slowly :/ i put new batteries it still does the same thing, but when i wire the module to battery pack it works i dont know why
