Scared of messed up m140 diode

[BowtieGuy]

No problem, glad I could help.

Fantastic! I just looked at some pics, and video of it; awesome car! All I have to do now is make room in my garage for mine.

Thread Hijacked!

Sorry we ruined your thread, in of which you took a drill press to a diode then asked for a new one (meaning this thread was ruined a long time ago).

 

[USAbro]

I canceled the invite.

Ive been keeping up on this for it is gold. Is this your laser or your dads? Im confused why you couldnt go to the post office and ship it out

 

[USAbro]

It's my laser. Post office is quite the distance. Besides, he doesn't like me doing that.

Controlling parents. :huh:

I don't think his dad even knows about it.

 

[USAbro]

Yes, he bought it through his PayPal.

Every time a diode dies an angel looses it's wings...

^^^I think you should link this thread as an example of "what happens when lasers fall into the wrong hands"... :beer:

Look, I'm honestly sorry this happened but PLEASE remember that for most of us this is a HOBBY and NOT a need. I just had a diode die on me during the test phase and it always stinks when it happens but it isn't devastating to my life and you shouldn't let it affect you so much. Lesson learned so move on. Part of growing up.
Most young people think that when they turn 18 or graduate from high school they are suddenly going to gain all this freedom but the reality is that your responsibility level goes up dramatically and the consequences for what you say and do can have serious fallout. In a lot of ways you have more freedom now.
Anyways, try harder to put this hobby in perspective to what really matters

Getting another diode in the mail.

Getting another diode in the mail.

Please keep it away from the high speed drill press.
