HELP!!! yobresal/survial 445 broken!

[Eudaimonium]

I had a customer that didn't tighten the heat sink set screw properly against the diode module. So when he went to focus the lens, guess what happened. :wave:

He saw that entire thing is loose, wondered what's wrong, took it apart and fixed it, like any normal human being?

Oh no, but that's not the reason to post here! He most likely wrenched the entire thing apart because obviously, how can one notice he's twisting everything apart?

*sigh*

Some people just don't have the patience for this hobby.

Haha...yep, twisted the wires right off the diode. Then whatever he did to try to reattach the wires fried the diode.

Yeah, stop fucking unscrewing your lasers! :crackup:

The reason I prefer to do the repair myself is because people will rip the wires off the diode and then try to turn it back on as if by some miracle it will still work. This ends up frying the driver without load and then when you finally reattach the diode the fried driver fries the diode. Whenever I get a laser back I change the driver out first thing and check the diode for functionality.
