Recently I was building a PHR-803T module with a LM317. I thought that the heatsink was the V-in pin, not the Adj pin. So I hit the poor diode with several amps from a computer power supply. Now it is a zombie diode that sill lases, it just is weaker.
Also as I've said many times, I blew one of the new 445nm diodes by using an Aixiz acrylic lens. The lens melted on me and fried the diode.
