Hi, I just bought one new SDlaser 301 from dx and it seems that it is mode hopping. changing from 1 beam to 2 weaker beams. It seems to happen at any temperature, cold or hot. sometimes happen sometimes dont. Is there a easy way to fix? I mean, if i try open the housing it may break. If so i might sell this one then buy another...

Common for cheap greens. Not really a whole lot you can do to fix it that wouldn't just most likely just break it completely.

This may be looked down upon but you get rep for having a delorean.....

after some use it is now more stable on TEM00.

Make sure you have some good batteries. Overvoltage causes faster heating that can cause mode hopping. Do you have a multimeter to measure the current of your batteries?

I've never had any kinds of problem with my unit. Maybe just bad luck =(
