My much loved 5mw green Wicked Lasers Core has croaked. Is there any to resurrect a dead dpss laser? It only runs on greenpower batteries and only for a few seconds. No replacement batteries work. These things are probably polarity sensitive and I should've paid more attention. Probably paid fifty for it around ten years ago.

You can get them rebuild, their are a couple of people on the forum that do them. Hopefully they will see the thread and chime in.The couple I had rebuilt, I had upgraded and their a whole lot more powerful. They kick some butt. Best wishes ~~~ edit~~~ WL's aren't polarity sensitive.

That laser wasn't in production ten years ago. Look here. DPSS lasers usually can't be fixed by us. Can't replace diode or crystals so I'd say either by another or get a laserbtb pen. Those are similar.

There's several people on here that can fix DPSS lasers just fine, even ones more complicated than a 5mW 532nm.

Might not be worth it in this case though.

What kind of cost for someone here to build a 5mw green? I'd rather not spend more than $30 on something out of a factory at 5mw. 5mw is really all I need for daily work.

Ten years ago, what took you so long to get to the forum? I thought you sounded like someone who wasn't new to them. I'd be interested to know if you can test to see if much IR is coming out of it.

Edit: Went googling this pointer, first to see if there are any on ebay right now, not... and to see what one looks like. Google pointed me back here: http://laserpointerforums.com/f44/wl-core-30354.html
