Here is it.
Galileo 5.
If someone could post a detailed instructions on what to do to boost it up to a safe level, i'd
manage to do it myself with tools that i have (assuming that all that needs to be done is on the drive on the pictures below).
I've tried turning the screw (with a stopper that is constantly touching the screw, so i don't know if the stopper is a lead of a kind, or what?)
clockwise = power down
counterclockwise = power up
NEITHER of them drastically reduces nor enhances power output (in means of burning god forbid), it is just making it visibly brighter or dimmer (maybe there was also a bigger beam dissipation, don't know).
I also must say that i have not gone over nor under he stopper's limit, meaning that i actually have not fully tightened nor loosened the screw...
(and i didn't touch the C3 component)

tnx in advance! ;)

If you want it to be able to burn stuff, your out of luck. Pot modding will only boost it so much...

also, as far as the pot goes (the screw thingy) it will never come all the way out or go all the way in. In fact, it only has about 225 degrees of travel (it will keep going after this, but it will just go back down to the start) the wiper is actually a part of the screw head, and it touches the resistance material which is directly underneath the screw head. If you look really closely you will see a black ring under the screw head, where this starts and ends is your effective travel, if that makes sense.

I sent you a PM.
And don't expect it to burn stuff. It's not likely that your laser will output enough to burn. A visible difference is all that you're likely to get.
