Hello, new to the forum, but seems like a very educated and diverse community that I look forward to being apart of.
I Recently purchased a simple 405nm JBL4306 laser pointer and although the beam wasn't a solid single violet point, and instead 1 strong center dot surrounded by maybe 5 weaker dots about .5mm away when focused.... I couldn't really complain, it would burn slightly when focused, even at long distances if the object was black and for a first laser, I was satisfied.
However, the light is now extremely dim. Im Assuming it happened after it may have had a slight knock against something but its not like it fell on the floor or anything, was just in my pocket and hit the door as I walked by..
I didn't pay much, but until I purchase another laser,
Is there anything anyone could recommend to "try" to do to maybe fix it up?
- I know this model is hard to open, however I have tools im willing to give it a go (why not)
My theory is, since it was such a small hit that caused this issue, then it must be something simple to fix. Once I know what I need to do...
So any suggestions on the cause of the dimming and ways to fix it if the circuit was accessable will be greatly appreciated!
Also, there is a round edge about an inch from the focus point too now... Idk.. im about to just start digging inside it and would rather have some guidance before I do so lol.
Thank you,
