I just got my new 12x blu-ray burner today, opened it up, and extracted the diode from it. Following a video by Rkcstr on his Youtube channel, I put a tiny glob of solder on the tip of my iron and touched it to the diode's pins, and simultaneously pulled the ribbon off. All was swell until I realized that the tiny drop of solder somehow slipped through the PCB and onto the back of the diode. I guess that diode, along with the $200 I invested in it, are history... :cryyy:
