Hi, I'm brand new to this forum, actually I just found out about it when I was trying to look for an answer to my problem and couldn't really find anything. I just got this 30mw Green Laser today from amazon.com - www[dot]amazon.com/Dimple-Finish-Double-Flashlight-Optical/dp/B000I0YIX2/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1236233494&sr=8-1 (sorry, it wouldnt let me post links because I don't have 10 posts yet)
I understand that it is probably not the best quality laser, but I just want to see if there is a fix to this problem that isn't just 'go buy a good laser' My problem is that it is brand new, with brand new batteries and when I turn it on it goes really dim within a few seconds. At one point it stayed pretty bright for about 5 minutes but that was the longest. I was wondering if anyone could help me fix this problem.
EDIT: Here is a short video of what is actually happening with my laser. www[dot]youtube.com/watch?v=UvKvIcC1bOw (just replace [dot] with a dot)
Also, when the beam shuts off it is me letting go of the button, that doesnt happen when i keep the button depressed. It is just to show the brightness going down to very dim again.
