Haha thats ok, thats what I get for being new to this I suppose.
Thanks for your help though. I'll be trying it tomorrow when I get a new soldering iron. Do you recommend any good ones?
Thanks for your reply. What is the round casting of the diode? Could you maybe take one of the pictures and draw a red circle or something on it in Paint and then post back here so I can see it maybe? Thanks.
Hi everyone, this is my first time being here and I had a question about my 5mw red laser.
Ok, so I took the laser apart and I have the laser chip with the spring on the 1 end and the silver cap thing on the other end. I wan't to solder wires on to the chip so I can power the laser with those...
