Since its my birthday I thought it would be a good time to solder up my diodes for my 635 build. Sadly the Laser gods were not forgiving. The laser gods wanted to punish me for using a 60w iron on a poor 300mw mitsu.
The diode failed to work @ 400ma, so I cranked the driver to 1.1a, the diode had LED'd then a few seconds later went completely dead.
Are these the characteristics of a diode that has been overheated? or was it esd damage? Both? Probably.... Argh... The pains of being a noob
