Dave makes complete sense, as always. Its already past the level of average-high use. Why waste more time just to kill it.
Why? Because these diodes were bought to murder (kill), not to give away when someone says they've had enough.
We not? We GAVE IT to Igor. It's a failing diode, big deal. Plus if it can make some money for the forum its a double plus.
Plus then he'll have room to test the second 8x as well as the 12x at the same time.
..... Without turning it up, the failure of the first diode may be a long time coming....
Hi, does anyone know why a hommade burning laser diode from a cd burner doesn't work? I accidentally used a 9 volt battery to test it. what should I do.[/QUOTE]
You should read enough to know where to put your question. Your query is totally unrelated to this thread.
Start by reading the FAQ and the "before posting' threads in the General board
Peace,

i couldnt wait longer. i built a laser from my diode. slowly turned it up, in 10mA increments, until 350mA with 510mW after a 405-g1 lens!
..which is highly not recommended, the current jumped easily 30mA at the end. fortunately right to 350mA, and not from 340 to 380mA or similar.. phew!
so far its living, with less than one hour runtime. and wow, it burns anything! collimated, not focused! white paper for breakfast!
(no burns on a wall though.. yet)
