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...
