So I was happily pulling apart the 2 "dead" DVD burner drives I got today and nestled inside the optic of the second one was a beam cube! :drool: Did anyone know there were beam cubes in some of these things? :anyone: I certainly did not. In addition to the beam cube, it also has 2 of the 4 pin flat plastic laser diodes going into it. I have yet to check the alignment or if they even work, but suffice it to say this thing is loaded. The drive is a 20X Sony Optiarc AD-7203S. So there may be a dual diode laser in my future! :beer:
The other drive was not bad either. It had a coated acrylic lens with a longer focal length inside. It was also 20X and has a 3-pin flat plastic diode. (Optiarc AD-7200A) So all in all it's been quite a good night.
