Hello everyone. It seems that I need a little help...
I just finished my first build. It was a PHR-803T HD diode with a rkcstr driver preset to 101ma. The diode was easy to harvest and I took all the proper precautions against ESD. It went into the Aixiz almost effortlessly. Where I think I ran into trouble was trying to remove the PCB. (It was being stubborn and I think that I may have used too much heat.) After everything was put together I powered it up with a wallwart (9.22v) and... nothing happened. :'(
So... a postmortem is in order.
How can I tell if I cooked the LD? How do I test the driver? It didn't show any voltage between "LD" and "GD" ? Is that normal? (I have only a very basic digital multimeter.)
Thank you for any insight that you can offer.
