blue laser problem

[Hislordship]

Hello

I have a 1W blue laser and up until now it worked perfectly
But now everytime i turn it around of move it to much it goes off or barely works at all...
Sometimes it doesn't even go on..
It is almost as if the batteries don't make contact or loose contact

Could this be the case? Or could it be something much worse?

I have the same one and the end cap isn't perfect ,i think you will find that's the issue, i cleaned up the terminal and now works fine, its a guess but thats what my issue was and the press switch is just in contact so a tiny bump and it will go off so don't bump the end cap area at all let me know how you go ..regards

Thanks for the info
I think you are right because i just put thr batteries in again and it works fine now
I can't check to see if it gets to full power because the batteries are empty..
I can't charge them here because i am still waiting for my charger ^^
I charged them for 10 hours last night at my bro his place and already they are empty...

But i think the end cap is the problem indeed because it also sounds like the batteries are pretty loose in the laser.

What is the host? If its a C6 they often have issues with the tailcap. You just need to screw it down a little with a pair of needle nosed pliers. :beer:

I have the same laser its not a C6 but tail cap works the same way, cant get picture at moment .The host looks like the laserer that living loud is trying to sell a 127mW green if that helps.

Sorry for the late reply I've been very busy..

I finally got my charger in the mail so i tried to charge the batteries to see if the laser would work fine but i found out one of the batteries doesn't charge..
I guess it's broken so now i have to wait till my new ones arrive before i can test my laser.. They don't sell those type of batteries anywhere here -.-'

Lithium ion batteries are harder to get than other batteries but i wouldn't have thought you couldn't get them at all in country ..Bummer i hate waiting too ..very much so ...

I've been told that only certain shops or sites sell them but they are exremely expensive...
So i decided to order them on ebay.
No shop here that i have been to sells them..
