Chances are that its only a 3mm can which wouldn't be able to fit in an Aixiz module without modifications.

You might be better off just buying one.

LPC-826 laser diode 650-660nm 250-300mW [M0023] - $10.99 : Modwerx Shop

Alot of times, those Laptop drives aren't even a can.
They are those flat, rectangular plastic assemblies.

I agree, just buy a diode that you know will fit an Aixiz.
Those LPC-826's are nice diodes for the price. :beer:
