Hak's caveman ez guide to the superswitch-jetlasers pl-d

[jakeGT]

there has to be an easier way. It sure is extremely annoying. I got my laser today hak, and have got it turned on one time. Nobody else can get the damn code right either.

LOVE THE LASER, HATE THE SWITCH

Any tips on the code? No matter what the last button press always flashes the led's twice instead of once and wont unlock.

Can I send this back and have them disable the smartswitch lock/code
I hate it, I've been able to turn the laser on twice out of a couple hundred frustrated curse filled tries.



Edit: I got it I think

SORRY to hear this.. I have pointed out many times in threads and posts about the 405 &445 series PLs- they and only them use two 16340s- to attain ~7.2+ v all the other PLs take ONE 18650+ 3.7 to 4.2 v but sadly I assume not what it was getting from the 16430s. AFAIK all JETLs have reverse polarity protection but not apparently protection for your laser. I would not be surprized if Gray would get it rebuilt for you and do it at a fair cost- hes a good guy.

Keep me in the loop and GL

The same thing happened to me but luckily in revrerse- I thought the 1W 445 was WAY underspec at only ~350 mWs until I remembered that it needs two 16340s- no harm done in my case- just embarrassment. I put labels on all mine showing polarity and batts req. (and my name too)

He just repaired it for free, simply outstanding, nice laser by the way :wave:
