Toked,
I still agree with The Great Gazoo, check your focus first. If you want to burn up close (like 6 inches) then the spot on the wall across the room should be several feet across.
Next, does the beam look nice and bright?
If it's not very bright, like less than a $1 pointer, then I think you killed it by running without a proper driver and cooking the poor little facets.
Edit because I'm too slow
Gazoo, you beat me to it.
