I have been working on getting the parts for building my 405nm laser for a while, and I finally have them all together. They are a PHR-803T Violet Diode, an Aixiz Housing, a 117mA Rckstr Driver, and a 9 Volt Snapper. When I attached them all together, I got nothing coming out of the diode.
I know my 9 Volt battery works, and all of the parts I ordered are from trusted sites. I received my Driver straight from Mohrenburg, though. Matt said that they worked, they just started to flicker after a while of use. He sent it to me only for the price of shipping.
I don't know if the driver is the problem, but I really don't know what to do at this point. The only other thing that could be wrong is a few weeks ago, I had the snapper attached to a 9 Volt battery. Both of the wires on it made contact with the housing, but not the diode, and this makes me wonder if that may have broke the diode.
If anyone has any ideas of what I should do, I'd really appreciate to hear them.
Thanks,
