yo, bridge the switch out by running a wire from one side of the switch to the other.
why do you want to make it case positive?

Thanks mate, just seen this on one of Jayrob's thread, appreciate it.
Well the spring has been set up to be negative and the pic shows where positive is located, which I've never seen before either.
Just thought a quick solder and I can have it as a case positive mini build off 1 16340 cell.
Am I going about this all wrong?

You need a case negative build because the 660nm red diodes are case negative.
All linear drivers will do.

Hi Blord, so how is it that my red pointer pens are case positive?
Which I'm guessing this module was intended for.

I mean the LPC-826 red diode is case negative. It could be the diode in the penlaser is different.

Yeah there are quiet a few case positive red diodes out there.
Have you attached the battery (-) to the spring and the battery (+) to the brass case of the module and pressed the switch?
Im pretty sure you can just leave the 2x battery (+) contacts next to the spring.
Personally id cut them off there a lil too close for my liking. They are only there to give you the option of running wires for the positive for the driver instead of contacting the side of the module.

That looks to be the case with this one.
Yeah I tried that before starting the thread, didn't work so I thought there must be another way of doing it that I'm not aware of yet.
Even tried making a + wire contact to the module but that doesn't even work unless power makes actual contact with that wire (current won't travel through module). :thinking:
