I have the above mentioned laser. It was a gift from Betty at SkyLasers for reviews made on purchased units.
This laser has always been a wierd unit --- Unpredictable power ranging from 280 mW to 20 mW. Sky from the first had problems with maintaining good electrical connections especially at the higher currents demanded by 200 mW + DPSS modules.
The laser I have was glued together which contributes to bad connections in the threads on aluminum but, with heat (FIRE) I have got some of it apart. I have now seen short bursts of 280 mW !!
Now the Q --- Has anyone ever successfuly removed the laser module / driver from one of these? The glue they use is a curse to us and electrical connection. The blue power warning LED is now intermittent and responds to tapping indicating more poor internal connections likely due to that damn glue.
