how to power deal extreme dx 35mW Green Laser Module (5V Input)
hey guys, i just got this laser dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.10004 and its my first lab laser, and im really not sure how
to power it, i tried with my power supply from my pc, and connected it to the red (+5v) and black(ground) wires, and nothing. i read on this thread laserpointerforums.com/forums/YaBB.pl?num=1216329073/0 to connect the wires directly to the pcb, and i did, and yet nothing.
The board says it needs a 5V AC input, but i checked the pc psu on my old power meter, it gave me a reading when in AC mode, so im under the impression that the psu should power the laser
this is how my laser looks and the board are the same form the images in this thread.

also i tried doing a search on this forum for powering a lab module laser, but nothing relevant poped up...now im browing through threads.
im not sure if the PC power supply attempt was a good one, or not, can i please have some advise on how to power this. If i need to buy an AC adapter then i will, but like everyone who buys somthing new, i just wana see if it works or prepare my mind of the returning goods hassle.
