Try not to post everywhere... (in case it should get too spread out on the Forum)

I wouldn't assume most people would know how to disassemble a laser like that... try getting the kaleidoscope top off first? Unscrewing or something? You'd need to take pics for us to get any idea... unless someone else on here happens to have that particular laser. GL

Alright, take out the batteries and depress the power button to rid any residue charge. Then check to see if the unit is shorting against the host (flashlight might help), and then rattle it around and see if you can see anything, both looking down the barrel and up from the aperture. Pics would help

EDIT: Like actual pics, clean photos of your particular laser

Does anything seem out of place? Is the button hard to depress?

Sorry for the bad lighting and everything I'm kinda stupid with this stuff.

Haha it's ok. Is the button harder to depress than before? If the laser can still shine green then I'm not too sure it's the crystals. How long does it stay green? If it can remain on for a little bit you can see if the beam/dot is weird or something

EDIT: sorry missed a post. Ignore the first question :p

Well it sometimes works if I hold it at the right angle but when it does it looks as if it was distorted or something, like when you shine a laser off something and it looks like it was sprayed.

Try to shoot a pic of the dot? If you decide to take it apart and something goes wrong, it's probably goodbye to the laser. Although, given the price of the laser, you could just grab another one if you don't want to bother :p

Well what I could do is just take the cap off this other laser I have.
