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.

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

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).
Peace,

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