I got my two last Thursday. Thanks Daedal! I built out one pointer so far and it's been going strong for 3 days now! I'm lovein it! Merry Christmas to you!

That was my blueray that died using the 7805 setup, but in my post I did explain that I set it to 47ma's instead of 1-2 ma's past lazing threashold. I'm sure I overdrove that one. I have 2 more diodes on order and I plan to still use the 7805 setup, but I will tune them better this time.

Re: DONE ***  BluRays again ;)  *** DONE I agree with Sparks, I'll be sending some more cash to cover losses. I tried the whole salvage thing with the blues and I was glad to see you offer it on your latest GBs.

A big thanks goes to Daedal! :D I appreciate your efforts! Now I have new blurays to hopefully not kill this time!

These guys seem real pushy to me. That's a bit of a turn off for me consumer wise. Daedel is a busy guy on this forum running with several projects right now. I'm sure he will get to this when he can.

Just placed an order for 2 salvaged Daedel. Thanks man for doing this again!

Here ya go.

For bluerays....

Here's my contribution. I did these in photoshop. You can request free sample laser labels from www.onlinelabels.com. I requested 3 sheets of metalic silver bar code size labels for mine. They sent them within 3 days. Pretty cool company. They also have free downloadeable templates for every...

Heh...yeah not reliably usable long term. Guess that's why manufacturers don't use them anymore ;)

Re: DONE ***  BluRays again ;)  *** DONE Awesome! Put me down for two harvested and put into aixiz modules.

That's an excellent suggestion! I fear that the plastic may melt if we try to solder to it but if we could salvage the connector the ribbon plugs into we may have something!

Re: DONE ***  BluRays again ;)  *** DONE Hey Daedal, you planning to do another blueray GB anytime soon?

LOL Man, that does suck! Sorry to hear about your mishap. Yeah, I didn't realize that the connection ribbon was actually a small circuit board soldered to the back of the diode so I tried to press it into the module with that still attached. It smashed all my pins together but I was able to use...

Just checked and the red works but nothing from the the violet pin...sob sob... it's dead. :'(
