Just a quick question. I recently harvested a diode from an old DVD burner I had laying around and was de-soldering the little plastic circuit board on the back of the diode. I'm an inexperienced solderer and just wanted to know if i could have burned it out or how to check without wrecking the diode. Thanks...

P.S. - How might i check which one is the infrared diode and which one is the laser diode.
