i just took apart a cd writer from an used computer. will this give me better results? if not 2 AA batteries, then what? And as for the wiring, is it basically any kind of metal wire will do? I just took 2 wires i found within the player and taped it to the battery.
well i don't know about the circuits but the clip it comes with keeps coming off(at least for mine it does), but a bit of superglue will do the trick. the button feels kinda low quality.
aww, really? but is it supposed to power up if it wasn't dead? because i went on http://felesmagus.com/pages/lasers-howto.html and it seemed like he did the same thing.
I just harvested the diode from an old DVD player(not burner) lying around. It was originally from my computer but I upgraded to better ones. I connected the + to one of the pins and - to ground. Nothing happened, am I doing something wrong? Or is it IR and I can't see it?

my friend bought a 5mw green pointer and showed me, and I thought they were really cool. I saved up some money, went on amazon.com and bought a DX20 for $75 plus shipping in June 2007. I didn't realize I got ripped off until I learned more about lasers. Then I got a DL95 just last month, August...
I was wondering if anyone can post a closeup picture of an executive dragon case? All the pictures on WL sucks. Is there a hole on the case for the button, will it be a snug fit(like it won't rattle), and will it really protect the laser?
