Thank you, and you're welcome
Ill try my best, but its going to be tough because there's no manufacture marking on the main IC:|:thanks:

I have got a fix, not for the original driver, the components aren't beefy enough, but i have a 5 mode (((Low (10%), mid (50%), high (100%), strobe (100%), SOS (100%))) Driver circuit i can get my hands on and distribute
It can handle 2.8-3A @ 2.7 - 4.2V. you will still kneed to hook it up to a laser driver though, but it gives you those power options And its Dimension are ( Dia x H ): 1.9 x 0.6cm(0.75 x 0.24in) :tinfoil:

This is NOT the route I was looking for. If I was going to use this route then I would just use this driver for a 445nm diode. In this build I was going to do PHR at 120mA I'm looking to change a value on the tailswitch to render the strobe/high/low function on the negative side of the circuit. I know that its pushing it, but I was hoping without putting to much effort into it that I could use the tailswitch IC.
I mean there's no real way to mod the original circuit, unless you build one from the ground up, i gave up and just scraped off all the original components and hot wired my tail cap to be momentary

i think the momentary will be a good safety feature so i don't pull a running laser out of my pocket, and i cant seems to find any of the "key" type FDA approved switches anywhere :eg:

SOB! the $20 costco flashlight that come in the three pack
my exact host, hey were did you find that heatsink?Ok made it home here are some pics. I built this about a month ago haven't played with really that much come to think about it, but its a real burner.
Dude i think your heat sink whomps mine! i built mine out of a lump of aluminum made from 24 pop cans XD, but check out my build, the photos are on my website
I spent 3 hours using a variety of metal file's, drill bit, and hacksaw. to make my heat sink, no CNC machines or mills or lathes used >https://sites.google.com/site/johnslasershopcom/building-my-heat-sink-for-my-300mw-650nm-laser

I'll check it when I can thanks man. I can show you how to make one from home depot parts also. The trick to this sink which makes this host hard to work with is the little lip area given at the threads... There is a work around ill post later.

Hey man I checked up on your pics... your very tenacious your hands looked like the tin man off The Wizard Of Ozz.
I'll PM you on a possible alternative on the sink one that will be less of a work out for you. I'll wait till I'm home with a camera. Good job on that heatsink your arms must be wore out, hope you were wearing safety glasses with that dremel.Hey man I checked up on your pics... your very tenacious your hands looked like the tin man off The Wizard Of Ozz.
Thanks, and yea my shoulder was done at the end of this project, same with my back! :crackup: I didnt, but i shoulda taken a pic of the pile of shavings on the floor. :tinfoil: And yes i had saftey glasses on the whole time. :beer:

Man You gotto give me time I'm a youth coach and father and Golf Course Superintendent. Life gets in the way sometimes. I'll get in the meantime study this thread http://laserpointerforums.com/f51/cheap-handy-source-copper-heatsinks-73893.html it has some points that go into that sink I was talking about.:wave:
Sorry man i had no clue :yabbem: But i understand that shit gets in the way of hobby's, been there done that! lol :evil: I got work all weekend so ill have no time for my hobby's ether.
