Lol yea that laptop has been worked on tons of times.
I think the heatsink was around 30 ish if I recall. Still works perfectly. Had I known these could be pushed to 2w, id have probably done that. The heatsinking is really good after the thermal epoxy.
No peltier of any kind. Its barely a heatsink and it is pretty much superglued to an external heatsink sleeve. Horrible heat transfer. After remaking it, it has no heat issues after like 45 mind constant run time.
Hey plexus:
I cant reply to your pms. you have it set to block them. it isnt press fit but just simply epoxied together. terrible thermal transfer to even the fins of the heatsink. Little bit of heat and some padded locking pliers snapped the glue and the parts slipped right apart.
ok well then I'd say something around the cost of the parts, shipping, plus $30 or so. What exactly happened to the original laser that it died and you cant return it?
Honestly I dont know if I'd even suggest it unless you really like the spyder host, or you can find one to use as a host without the internals. Its pretty costly because the stock internals are pretty much scrapped unless there is a better way of removing the driverboard than just forcefully...
Nope the setscrew is hidden under the ring part of the batter identification collar(which no longer works by the way. :-( The only part that was a pain about the setscrew was shaving it down to fit flush. I could have done it a lot cleaner by taking it out first, but its hidden.
Yea the laptop...
My Arctic III had become unreliable, turning on and off on me when it felt like it, and doing all sorts of odd stuff, not to mention terrible beam characteristics. I decided to gut it and toss in an A140 diode and microboost driver. Its running at 1100~ma and is tons more powerful than the...
