5mW green laser to 100mW?

[mynameisdereck]

Hey, I have a 5mW green laser that I bought from ebay, and I was wandering, I know there is a way to make it 100mW. I saw a youtube video on how to do it by heating one component via sodering iron. However, their laser diode circuit board does not look the same as mine. I was wandering if I posted pictures of my laser diode, of one of you guys could tell me which component to disable.

Thankyou,

No you can't perform magic and make 5mw into 100mw. Chances are it's already more powerfull then 5mw and is only being sold as 5 to get around eBay restrictions.
