The probably is no point... the diode in that laser cannot handle much more that in it is rigged to, and the host doesnt allow for easy replacement either.

i opened it and took out the zap thing. Does anyone know some where in tassie that you can buy lasers from? also how do you turn a portible cd player into a laser
