Anything that reads a disc does but most aren't powerful at all. The ones in the PSP will be the same as a mini-disk player and not only are they weak (1-5mW) but they are small, built into a heat sink but also almost look like a small chip with a glass cover. When I opened up an old MD player I found it like that, you wouldn't be able to use one of those.
The only disc drive with a decent powerful red diode would be a DVD+/-RW drive for a PC. If you don't have one spare you can always buy one really cheap on eBay.
well i take prat lots of cd players i cant fidn any tihng that looks like one all i see is a bunch or glass lenses i woudl love it if you could make vid of how to ifnd the ond in a cd player jsut to make a low power red pointer i have never made my own i ownt to even a low power is fine

In the future, could you please be more descriptive in the thread subject?
Thanks, it really helps when searching to have a descriptive thread subject.
As for dvd players, the laser diode is of very low power, you would be better off buying a $1 laser pointer. The only drives with higher power visible laser diodes are the DVD burners. sorry.
i knwo i woudl be better off buying one but i wont ot make my onw for the first tiem even if its low power s owoudl a dvd player have a low power ir or red /?
a dvd player would have a high powered ir which is bad because you cant even see it and it also has a low powered red one it in too, so you can make a not very powerful pointer from it, it wont do much but point tho.
If it can read a CD it has a low power NIR
If it can read a DVD it has a low power red
If it can burn a CD it has a high power NIR
If it can burn a DVD it has a high power red
The higher the speed it can burn at, the higher the power of the diode.
