hey, i just found some CD drives. They were no burners just ordinary Drives. I know the diodes sitting in there are veeery weak. But i just wanted to make a tut how to make a laser just out of a CD Drive and nothing else.
Its flat and has no metal casing. The Semiconductor just lays in air. It looks some way like a SMT LD or something like this. The three Pins are on the same Level! There is no difference between them in height. I cant take a picture because my macros look like shit.
Does anybody know this type of LD?
I checked the Pins with a Multimeter Diode Tester, but im not sure there is no current flowing just when i hook it up one way. Do i have to take those pins?
PS:
Sry for my bad english^^
