Hello laser pointer forums again, After dropping my laser on the floor today and getting a bit worried as it kinda malfunction a lot turning it self off, it soon worked fine. But I noticed the dust was showing more since that accident. When I'm in a dark room, and shine it at a wall 5ft away, I can see a large circle diameter of what looks like dust from the laser. The dot is fine. When I point the laser into my hair, I noted that the laser hits a only a tiny fraction of the lenses, as why it has such a large dusty circle glow. Should I worry about cleaning this? you can only see it at near by pointing at while material, and the beam and dot shows just fine.
Also, If I ever figure how to take the small top off, it looks like the "lens" or w/e is like 1cm under the top, and screwed in. There's 2 notches on both sides like if there's a special tool to unscrew that. Kinda like -O- So it would be kinda hard to take it off unless a cotton swab will do for cleaning it...and that's IF the top thing is what it appears, a 3mm thick piece that screws off, and doesn't pull out the whole laser.
