It looks like the lens is dirty or even scratched! Can you take a macro shot of the lens? I've heard that micro fiber is bad.

That looks kinda like condensation. Let it sit overnight with the aperture cap off and clean the lens after that.

I used to do that, but some people say that it damages the AR coating on the lens.

Ah! I've been there . I couldn't find a real replacement for my laser (it wasn't my x125), so I got a similar one from a camera and it worked. But you should try to ask dragon lasers for a replacement or repair. The lens is mounted on threads, right?

yea your best bet is to contact Dragon Lasers, and if not, sell it and buy a new one
