Hello!
about 2 years ago I got a green laser pointer pen as a gift
I have no clue what kind it is
but I can tell you its a pen like thing and it unscrews it half removing the diode from the 2 AA batterys
its has worked well and ive been rather mean to it (dropped it kick it and kept it in my pocket with a bunch of other stuff)
until about six months ago when it just stopped working so after a month or two I decided to tinker around with it to try and make it work again
I took of a foam rubber ring around spring the connects to the battery and almost instantaneous found out the problem
the diode turned 180 degrees around
so I got a pair of needle nose pliers and turned it around and it worked almost even better than it did originally for 3 months but every once in a while I would have to turn it around again
but now I can get it to turn on very well and I am tired of having to turn it around all the time
is there some way I can reset the diode? with glue or something?
if need be I can put up pics
thanks guys!
