here is a link to one of my old questions, in there is the link of my diode and driver.http://laserpointerforums.com/f44/current-driver-adjustment-help-94342.html#post1369635
what im trying to achieve is to be able to make these 2 things compatible for each other. as you have recently read, my driver output is 5.5v when the recommended input for my ld is 4.4 to 4.6 v . yet im using a booster driver which im guessing it will not adjust to the diode if I set it to the correct current. thanks
any other info needed , please ask

The driver should work just fine as long as you can adjust it to between 1A - 1.2A, if the pot is broken you may be out of luck, that driver is capable of 1.5A. That diode is a pull from a used projector, it says approximately 600 hours use, I doubt anyone could know how many hours use it had. I recommend only buying new diodes. That diode is probably an old A130/A140. If you live in California you don't need to buy parts from Bulgaria and China and wait up to a month for delivery.
