Usually in pen type lasers the modules are glued inside the host,
and some just seem to be pressed in there. In any case, they don't
usually slide right out, and you have to get rough with them. If it is
just the host you want, and not worried about protecting any of the
innards, I've found that you can usually use a long screw driver and
just carefully tap the module out with a hammer, of course paying
attention not to smash the host. ;)
PS: nice work on the diode pics.

I see, now that makes a lot of scene now.
I will keep on trying. I was really hopping to re-use that housing as well as the tube it self since it's a pretty solid build.

Thanks a lot!

Thanks to Ibuprofen200mg again (rofl)
I've got the head off, and now i can't seem to get the diode itself off any ideas?

for the ones who may have something similar, i just gook a big screwdriver and hold it really tight and just and just unscrewed it off

Why would you protect the pins like that ? Normally shrink tube is used after the wire is soldered to the pins.

Did you test the driver with a testload before hooking up the diode ?

You need to know what the output is of the driver and if the driver is functioning well in long duration.

My testload. Hook the driver to pin19 and pin20. Measure with a voltmeter the pin17 and pin18.
