Lg bh08ls20k 8x

Anyone use one of these yet? This drive is slightly cheaper than the Pioneer 8x but I wonder if its diode is as strong or efficient.

At this time, anything you buy with the exception of the Pioneer BDR drive will be purely experimental... Trust me, I learned the hard way with the BDR-s sleds!

 

[Krutz]

in other words, buy it, we are all curious about whats in other 8x drives ;-)

..well, only if the risk to lose the money isnt too scary for you!

I have 3 built 8x's based on that lg drive.. they all work great

 

[john_lawson]

Hey manual long time no see lol

 

[Krutz]

..if you dont take care of your manuals, stuff will eventually break.. ;-)

How far have you pushed your builds with these drives? 300ma or greater?

 

[Krutz]

ok, enough, total threadjack here:

john, whats up with that "THE FIRST STEP IS ADMITTING THAT YOU HAVE A PROBLEM" I lately see often in sigs? sure, its true, but.. huh? what am I missing?!? must be some popular tv series or something.. hehe

cheers

manuel

 

[Arenared]

All 3 are at 360ma

 

[gbl]

from what page did you bought the drive Arenared ?
did you put the diode directly at 360 mA ?
thanks

 

[jander6442]

he's saying he has a addiction to lasers that can't be cured until he admits he even has the problem...Thats my kind of addiction.

P.S. I'm also a Jesus freak

 

[Krutz]

aah, i see! so it *is* laser-related, i`m relieved!
are you "a jesus-freak", or "one of the jesusfreaks"? there is a group here, in germany, called jesus-freaks. kinda the alternate, really open-for-all split from the official church. younger people and punks are there, for example. my gf was/is one of them.

I went and purchased them from newegg.com

and yes i bought the lava4's set to 360ma and they worked right away and they are all kicking..

one thing though.. i ruined an 8x and a phr this way... when extracting from the heatsink.. dont jar the diode to hard or quickly , you will loosen the diode window from the can

 

[Krutz]

you can carefully de-can the diode, it has sucessfully been done already! or is it toast already? was it ever powered up?

manuel

 

[Arenared]

i tried to "carefully" do that.. something must have rubbed the diode becaus it would light up extremely weak afterwards.. i trashed it..

it did power up just fine at first but as the window moved around the light coming out of it looked like a spiderweb and it collimated into different patterns.
