I donno what it is with me and getting burners that have diodes that are completely unusable. I just recently purchased 9 dead drives (all samsung) and you saw the results of that. Plastic mounted peices of junk. Now I got 4 drives. 3 alike and wouldn't ya know it the 3 that are all the same are completely unusable for mounting in an aixiz module. Check em out!

Ok, so I had an old module from a 5mw pointer from about 5 years ago. Nice sturdy pot metal module similair to the Aixiz. I modified the housing to fit this beast.

That is putting out some nice power...it looks like the match was a non-sharpied with a white head? I noticed you were not holding it perfectly still when it lit...similar to what my open can can diode do with 350ma's.
