Try turning the pot the other way, and if that doesn't work then you've killed it :)

Have you tried using a fresh battery? If it starts strong and dims it would signify batteries that cannot sustain needed current. Your diode and driver should be fine though, otherwise all you would get it a dim red light and nothing else.

Though you could kill it by putting fresh batteries in it right now :-/
