So I just got my module in the mail yesterday.
It is an o-like 100mW green.
I bypassed the button on it, I put it into my heatsink, then my host.
And it worked. It was really bright. I got it to smoke my wallet, but I couldn't get it to light a match.
But I took my host apart, to take some pictures of the module in the heatsink, then when I put it back together, I was so excited that I wasn't paying attention to the battery (I am using a trustfire 3.6v 123)
After it was all together, I realized that it wouldn't turn on. So I look, and thats when I realized that I put the battery in backwards. I turned the battery around and now it wont power on at all.
Did I really just kill my module by accidentally putting the battery in the wrong way for one second ???
My other green laser, 20mW, I put the battery in backwards all the time. And It just wont turn on like that, but it doesn't ruin the laser.
I can't get this thing to turn on at all now. I had it working for about 2 hours.... yeaaaaahhhhh :cryyy::yabbmad:
Is there anything else I can do to test if this thing is dead, or am I just screwed over that tiny mistake?
