changing green diode to red

[JamesHooper]

probably wouldnt work... but I have a DVD-R sitting under my bed, and I wanted to know if its possible to switch the diodes in a green laser, take out the crystals (obv) and jsut use the same module etc to run it as a red burner?
Obviously Id have to change the current regulation, any way of doing that?
Cheers

You could on some greenies, but it really wouldn't be worth it. Some greenies have a 9mm IR laser diode in them so it would be even harder to use a regular 5.6mm can in there.
