If your friend truly pulled the board out of the laser, it is broken. To even try to repair it, you would have to get the module out of the housing. That in itself is a pain in the butt. IF you get it out AND the pins have not been pulled loose from the diode, you MIGHT be able to re-solder the board to the diode. However, I wouldn't bet the farm on all of those conditions being present.

If you get the module out, take a good close up, high resolution picture of the back of the module AND the top of the board. Post them here. We can then tell you IF it is worth trying to re-solder it.

Peace,
