About 5 years ago I had a 445nm laser that had the m140 diode with a Mohgasm 1.8A Button driver. That diode died and turned into an LED. Looking at getting back into the hobby and am wondering in those 5 years something would have changed. What is the best button driver and diode for the 445nm...

Damn.... They are so good. :/ What else is a good replacement?

It's a 1.8A Mohgasm driver, so I'm not sure.

If I buy a driver first, and the diode is broken.. Could that stuff the driver or no?

At the above 2 posts, I don't really know much about all that stuff.. and I don't have any of the equipments. I think I should just replace the driver since they're not THAT expensive. And if the diode is still they way it is, I can assume the diode is broken. What do you think?

How do we do that? Also i've already been told by a lot of others from a thread i posted a while ago that the Diode has turned to a LED.

My laser diode screwed up and it turned into an 'LED'. Do you think it would be wise to get a new driver for it as well just incase? Here is the emission test photos; Laser - Imgur Here is what the laser consists of; Laser. - Imgur The driver is a 1.8A Mohgasm Driver. The Diode is a M140...

These are delicious pictures. :)

Ahk, thanks a tonne Speedy78. Also; if there is anyone what will repair my laser module please PM me or post here. Thanks. :)

Oh, okay. What would you say would be the best to go for?

Ok cool, also looking into buying a new soldering iron. Would you say a Max output of 40W is perfect?

I've updated all my profile information, and yes not the best start to here but I'm wanting to fix that all up. I also don't have a problem with paying up-front to a trusted member of the site.

Hello LPF, So, my diode has been diagnosed by experienced members on here as broken. I'm looking to get a new one, but I'm looking at the same type 445NM M-140. I was wondering what does the G-2 Lens improve, and when I put my diode into the hot am i suppose to leave the silver backing thing...

^ Bump.

Why, how did it screw up? So, at least I'll know what not to do next time.
