Most likely, yes ....it has been said MILLIONS of times on here that AA batts will KILL the diodes...I have no idea why folks continue to try it
::sigh:: nanoseconds of too much current can kill a LD. :'( AAs WILL supply too much current in many situations. Listen to Mike, and read the board.thehacker3 said:i only used the AA for like 4-10 seconds at a time. it got way to hot to hold after that anyway. oh well. better luck *and carefullness* on the second diode i hope
