Just got DX High-Power 200mW Red Laser Pen .
While operating it I accidentally installed the batteries with the polarity reversed and pushed the on/off button for a few seconds. Obviously, no light emitted and when I reinstalled the batteries properly it seems that the laser functions (I can see the dot, burn a match, etc). The problem is that while operating it for the first time, I sensed this smell of a burnt electronics (that is now gone) and I think that somehow I damaged the laser.
Did anybody who owns that laser encounter with this smell during the initial operation? Is this smell (which is no longer exists) regular on the first time? Perhaps it comes from the glue that holds the driver and not from the electronics?
Your replies would br highly appreciated.
:thanks:
