hi i recently made my first laser just by taking my diode out of my dvd rw drive and putting it in a laser module and then used a maglight to power it, (the kipkay one) however, after only playing with it for 20 minutes it got really dim. im assuming the diode is fried. I want to make another laser without really spending too much money. if i just used another dvd rw diode and hooked it up to a driver would that fix the problem and make it last? and does it burn stuff pretty good? thanks!!
