So I was browsing around on I-hacked.com  and stumbled upon a article on how to build a BluRay laser.
So I started reading it and it started sound VERY familiar, mainly daguins "strange things about bluray" thread.


After reading on I then realized that daguin Dark_Horse and sk8er4514 helped him out....That explains everything! ;D


Heres a quote from the article which can be found Here


Have you ever experienced a *really* powerful laser? And when I mean powerful -- I mean able to light matches, pop balloons, and make just about anything smoke? Recently, Surbo got me interested in the world of lasers, and it has grown to an addiction. In my quest to know more, I came across the high-power laser retailer wickedlasers, and read about their new high powered $2000 Blu-Ray laser. I had to have one, no -- I HAD TO BUILD ONE. (and man am I glad I did)

Well, at least they gave us some kind of credit ;)  

I had to laugh at the warning sticker.   :)
It says <150mW.   :eek:
With a flexdrive set at 115mA the laser will MOST DEFINITELY be LESS than 150mW  ;D  
Probably around 55mW less ;)

Of course even at 95mW a violet laser will burn like they say, but sheesh  ::)

Peace,
dave

He missed some very important info though...
When you unscrew the head, you will see a piece of black plastic with a hole in it for the spring.
Put a flathead screwdriver in the hole, and pry the plastic out.
Now, you will see a small circuit board with components on it. Unscrew the tailcap and put a long rod or screwdriver in the battery compartment, now ram the end of the screwdriver in the floor and the circuit board should go flying out.

Now, you can either remove all the components off of the circuit board and put it back in along with the plastic piece, or you can just leave it as an empty tube. It will work either way.

The reason you must remove it is because it causes the flexdrive to work improperly.

I have never seen anyone post about this -- and I have been running this dorcy mod (without any battery mods) for about a month without any problems.

Re: I-Hacked.com takes their own approach on Blu-R

Yeah thanks, I started it when I started hacking the I-Opener (hence the I-hacked name) and really just started as a place for me to keep notes of projects I work on.

I love hardware hacking -- and after that dorcy build I think I found a new hobby!  ;)

Good site! I love hacking hardware also.
Note that the latest FlexDrives look different, but the basic instructions are the same.
