So I brought a 500mw green laser pointer on a site (link).
It comes home today at 13:00 and after some tests I put the battery to recharge. Overall everything was right for around six hours. But them when night comes and I tried to use it, it had some problems (it was quite shocking since it's not the first laser to have this kind of problem).
Instead of the strong green beam, it became a tiny green dot. On dark I can also see a red light coming from it. It seems that the problem increased as a few hours passed.
After I twisted the "head" off, I looked inside of it, and I noticed the following: there is a lens with a small lens/glass under it. Behind that second tiny lens I can see a red light coming off the laser internal circuits (which I suppose is meant to be converted in green light) and it always keep working while I press the button, but the (green) light that pass through the secondary tiny lens don't, it simply disappear a second later!
So does my laser is broken and I should call the seller to replace it?
Thanks! :cryyy:
