Hi there,

Probably this has been answered before in a different matter but i couldn’t find it in the search.

My problem is that my green laser starts very weak (yes, with a red dot) and after a few minutes it becomes brighter. A couple of little taps sometimes encourages the "process". But it never gets to it's old output capacity. (The beam isn’t very visible anymore). There used to be 2 green dots that would form 1 bright beam but now it's only 1 green dot which is less bright. I checked the battery and that's fine. Could it be that the connection between the spring/coil (where it's soldered at the end of the driver) and the battery, is malfunctioning?

Hopefully this makes any sense and is easily fixed.

Thanx

:thanks: Rangedunits but can you be more specific 'cause i'm an absolute noob. How or can it be fixed? I got this 30 mw laser as a present so i'm not affraid to experiment. :)
By the way, the driver broke from the diode so a friend of mine soldered it by hand. So that may explain the "burned"soldering. It worked great afterwards so he didn't damage it. The problem occured much later.
