This is my first time taking apart a sled, a BDR-S03. I am not sure which of the diodes is the blu-ray. If anyone can help it'd be greatly appreciated.

In one corner are two diodes "facing" each other in the corner. Those are the red and IR diodes. On the other corner is one diode alone. That is the violet diode

dave i got a questiond.. is the red diode on that sled can be pushed as a powerful red laser or just another 10mw pointer?

Thanks, Daguin!

I believe the red laser is a 16x LCC red. Not as strong as a LOC red, they're pretty good in their own right.

I run the LCC at 420mA (~250mW) for long term. I have pushed them above 500mA.

OK, I harvested the diode that was "by itself". There are markings on the side:

6LVC
0239

Is this the violet diode? I need to be sure before I press it into the module.

That's it.

If you have not been following the posts about the diode, no one has yet achieved the success I did with the first one. Several people have had one "pop" at 300mA.

If you are not set up to test for kinks in the graph, you may want to go VERY conservative (like maybe at the level of a 6X [~195mA]) until we get some more testing done. If we can get them higher, you can always turn it up (assuming the driver will be accessible).

thanks for the info guys.. now i wanna harvest this type of diode and try to build my first RED hehehe :p

I was planning to run it at 290mA. If you think that's OK, I'll go for it.

I wouldn't be confident there yet. If you do run it there, please keep track of usage, power, etc.

I tried it, and it briefly lit brightly then suddenly dimmed dramatically. I measured it through an AixiZ acrylic and got about 5mW.

If it's not dead then it's critically wounded.

I'm going to have to save up for a REAL 8x from a BDR-203 sled. This was to be wifey's laser and she wants more than 5mW.

I have another BDR-S03 sled. I'll use the blu-ray in that one like a 6x or even a PHR.

By the way, which one's the red?

Such is the price of research. Press on!

Sorry mate. I have a couple more to test here, but I just got an invitation for a weekend of "fun."

I'm wondering now if these aren't bluray READERS and DVD burners.

The long diode is the red diode. When you pull them out you will easily see the difference.

You might have a point there. KES-400A blu-ray anybody?

I might fix my MXDL "turkey leg" tomorrow. I blew out the LOC and would like to try the LCC. If this red diode anything like the Dilda diode, it's as tough as nails.
