LED boost driver mod

[adgmeijin]

Hi Im planning to mod this kind of LED boost driver to run BR LD, im trying to regulate the current using resistor, i hope this will work... :-/

What chip is that on there?

looks like a voltage booster, you should be able to run a laser off it using a resistor, but no guarantees on stability longevity etc...
also you might be getting some serious spikes from the booster that an led could take, but will kill a laser, so throw some capacitors on to smooth it out.
if you have a CRO, test the output to see how clean it is.

wait, you said blueray... what voltage is this driver throwing out? and will it supply 30mA at that voltage?
i wouldn't recommend running a blueray off it, cos they are so damn sensitive (and expensive)

is that from dx.I think that number 2070

if that is 2070, then I'm very interested to know how this turns out.

i have a driver just like that,it came from a 1aa light from dx it's getting 5v with out any resistors, i left it on for about 20 secounds and it started to sizle, so i think i wouldent try it on any thing.
