Green laser pointer broken! Help me!

[Lookyp]

I bought this 1mw green laser pointer (I know, don't laugh), and the dot it once produced seems to have become blurry and there are several lines coming out of the centre dot. It kinda looks like a star. I don't know what's going on; I tried cleaning the lens but nothing happened and now I don't know what to do. Someone please help...

Where did you get it? And picture of the dot will be useful

How do I add pictures on to this. (I'm doing this from my phone). And I bought it from Amazon.

Upload the photos onto a photo server like imageshack and attach the link of the photo into this between the two brackets:

Hi Lookyp, sounds like either the lens is damaged, moisture is on the backside of the lens or some items shifted inside. Does the front lens screw off so you can clean it well? For what it is, it might not be worth investing a whole lot of time into it. Don't want to come off as rude or mean but a 1mW laser is usually just slapped together so they are pretty much disposable.
