well i just got a dvd burner and found the right diode and just want to see how it looks. i just talked to my neighbor because i wanted to attach alligator pins to the diode and put it to the battery to c if it works. and he said that wont work because of itll just fry the diode. so i thought about it and would adding a resistor to circuit make it less possible for it to fry?i know this is a huge newbie question but im new to lasers and was just curious so i dont fry my diode. thanks for the help =)
