Lets start here.
Yes the process on bare diodes is to use one of the three diode testers Lazeerer set me up with which are X-DRive minis with diode stockets ont en them. 150mA/350mA/1A which is enough to get any diode i carry above lasing except the case positive/case negative diodes which thankfully I only carry tree currently that become a pain. AFter they go right in the ESD. Auggie packed this so to be clear I did not see it myself but it got done. That does not mean something did not happen going tin the packaging, during shipping or whenever. One would be rare two pretty unlikely.
I think you might have the idea I was trying to catch you in a gotcha your fault moment and missed where I said "I can help ease the pain but lets get to the bottom of what happened." which I did not fullly spell out but maybe was missed.
These are the threads that add so much value to this community actually troubleshooting fails. I am not worried about a couple diodes and would gladly make you whole and to me that is well worth the cost of creating valuable content that may guide others or even give you some food for thought on ways builds can go bad saving others from similar experiences.
Most the time this will not give a 100% that is what happened but the process of going over everything is how we learn and share. I am guessing you might have misjudged my enthusiasm in your exact process with the intentionally vague replies to the specific questions I had asked.
I agree with Paul that it is a good probability the driver and diodes are two separate issues. Anyway if you are willing to go over it for me pictures would be great.
The driver guessing it is either LDS500SE or ACS500SE? If so or not which specific one. A pic of the front and back showing its current state. There are some common things that I have seen which with these sepic drivers does not trigger it to turn on. I don't believe the output being open or would damage it as if the voltage of the source or forward is not in spec it will just not activate the driver. These are very different than say the SXD where they just operate out of regulation.
On the power supply I see this a lot "laboratory supply" does not give any info and again based on the same intentionally vague reply when I asked about it you might have thought I was looking to blame you or something. The model(a picture would be great) showing the style. Independent voltage/current control. Analog, Digital and specific process and setting on the unit from beginning to end of the process of powering the diodes.. I will probably sacrifice a diode making a video showing what I was trying to describe but any supply I have used if voltage is set to 2V or more even with the current set to zero cause instant LDD with the 638nm sharp and oclaro SM/MM diodes. Something about them.
I have only one question to DTR: Do you test the diodes before you sell them, and if yes, how do you test them?

my consequences from this waste of money:
