I want yellow

yea... i wish I hadn't bought my $80 radiocrap iron, but it still works good enough. rework would be nice though, show us how the rework gun works, I've lost a bunch of ICs to mistake soldering jobs (non-inverted PCB boards - forgot to flip image over)

how much for the unit without the laser (aka, with broken one?) cause I've got a bunch of these blurays still laying around... also, I don't need charger, only need one battery thats rechargable, got the chargers. PM me if interested, rather than here in this section of the forum

wow, thats kind of cheap, I just don't see enough profit in it for you, I mean, damn, you gotta be making far less than $50, not to mention the labor. props for a good deal, if it be true.

Re: CNI Laser Pointers tip: never listen to someone with 1 post.

well... the sun can dmage your eyes from a reflection, so I would assume the same goes for a dot reflecting... keep in mind, 5mw is still dangerous, any direct laser is bad, and as for reflecting... well, you never know when you might ACCIDENTLY reflectt a window from 100+ft away and hit...

you misunderstand... the eyes are more sensitive to 555nm than any other color, but that doesn't make 100mw act like 300mw, 100mw or red, green, and blue will all cause the same damage.

counterfiet? prove it.

yea, since I've been making similar little things, I'll have to add to the chorus, $20 each is a STEAL. By the time you've got everything to play with these kinds of components you'll find you've invested well over $400, so it's either spend $400+ to make one or two, or buy from Dr. Lava for a...

if your look closely you can pretty much look up each component from his pictures, and then read their respective PDFs and figure out your own similar working circuit board, it's not as hard as you'd think.

I think you don't need that at all, geez, I just got my tip off my radioshack crappo, grinded it smooth and finer on those wheel grinder things, and now I can do 0603 smt stuff easy, just gotta make sure you have temp control with the soldering iron.

are you serious? I thought the leadlight was a different case... well, I've got those laying around here, greenies they are... time to take apart!

consider how cheap they should be if they came unassembled... we gotta get some responses!

I second his method, I did the same thing the other week, works great, but you really need to glue it with some sort of epoxy to prevent the newly soldered "pin" from breaking off again.... also, don't sell something like this, as it's likely to die from shock or something oneday...

Re: 4.5v Laser can it be powered with 5V and a Res yes, that should work, but make sure with a DMM that its on max resistance, i found out the hard way that some work backwards.
