How to open a true 5mw and pics of the inside!NEW

I this how you SHOULD open one.

Tools needed.

Hammer.

Screwdriver.

Instructions.

Hit the tip of the laser head as hard as you can over and over again with the hammer this is the only way well the easiest and will MOST of the time not damage it.

Once you broke the head you should see a module.

Get your screwdriver and hammer and put your screwdriver on the head of the module then head the back of the screwdriver with the hammer. Repeat till its out.

Once its out well just do whatever you want with it I guess.

I'm usually not a fan of using a hammer for laser modding (well, except for 5mW keychain pointers ;D ) so when I open NewWish pointers like the True 5 I use this method: http://www.laserpointerforums.com/forums/YaBB.pl?num=1208106955
