The module on my laser is not glued in. If I loosen the set screw on the side of the heat sink, the module will move, but the wires are not long enough to remove it through the front of the heat sink. The only way I can remove the module is to remove the driver, correct?
Thanks for the info, but I'm not really interested in spending even another dollar on this piece of junk. If I can't repair it myself, I'm probably just going to sell it as-is or scrap it.
My first laser from Sci-Fi died after less than 30 minutes of actual use. This laser was sent out as a replacement (after 5 fake tracking numbers). I received this one a few months ago, but I've been busy, and haven't really gotten around to looking at it until recently. The diode isn't...
What does explain why it doesn't work?
On Jan 21, you told me you called the post office and they told you that the tracking number would be active next day. That's two weeks ago today.
You know the photo you sent me of "my" package.... there are two address stickers on it. Mine on the top of another one. The one under it is somewhat visible through mine on the top. Looks like an address to Fair Oaks, California.
Can you explain that?
I'm not sure if you're dishonest, or genuinely that disorganized. Either way, this is completely unacceptable customer service.
Dec 7: I am told module has shipped.
Dec 14: First tracking number provided. Turns out to be for a package to another country.
Dec 24: Second tracking number. After...
I purchased a 1.3-1.8w 445nm laser from sflasers a few months ago. It worked fine the last time I used it about 3 weeks ago. Today I put some freshly charged batteries in, turned it on, and got nothing. It has probably seen less than 30 minutes of total on time, and has never been on for more...
Re: Sci Fi Lasers - Update
I placed my order for a 1.3-1.8W 445nm a few days ago. Just wondering if all the issues with shipping delays have been taken care of.
I've been out of the hobby for years. It was kind of an impulse purchase. I honestly did zero research. So yes, I should have known better.
Looking for recommendations here, not an e-scolding.
Here's my situation.
I ordered a laser from OX Lasers about 3 weeks ago. Received my tracking number promptly, and all seemed well. A few days later, it hit Canadian Customs and sat there for about two weeks. Yesterday, I received a letter in the mail stating the item has been refused entry...
