Hey everyone. I obtained a broken PS3 from a friend, and he screwed up the optics while taking it apart. I figured I could not sell the drive, so I did what anyone else would do; take the diode out. Now the diode has 3 different pin-outs for different colors. Most commonly the violet. I accidentally broke the violet diode when wiring it up to the circuit because of the capacitor not being discharged. Still, I figured I should try the red. While in my opinion red is way overused, I still prefer it to a 5mW red laser. I don't know what this thing is putting out, but it sure is bright! Here are pictures of the final build.
