old host swap

[pr0jkt]

Hi all,

So i got this new pointer and the host is big, bulky, and very unstable. The battery shakes around and i'm afraid to just have it in my pocket. I would like to use my old host (black one pictured) and swap out the internals. Is this possible? How hard would it be? can i do this in one sitting (like right now) or do I need special equipment?

Have you even tried taking them apart to see how they are made? You should be able to tell if they are interchangeable.

i haven't taken my new pointer apart, but looking at the insides it looks like the internals are ment to be removed what do you think

I have no idea. What do you see that makes you believe that it is meant to be removed?

What are these spots? Glue? Something else? Are they securing the module?



How about the other side? You are looking for a retaining ring or something that is holding everything in. If you don't see something obvious, you might be out of luck.

not sure what the spots are i was trying to figure that out myself..i thought it was so i could pop it out

here is a picture from the reverse side

That warranty sticker might be a clue... Why would removing the sticker void the warranty?

here's a better picture..does it look like it could be removed and swapped?

Maybe?

From you pictures it is really impossible to tell. Are the three dots bumps or holes?
If they are holes you might be able to unscrew a retaining ring.

this is an example of how to unscrew a retaining ring.


Hey! That warranty sticker... did you remove it yet?

You need to actually TRY and take your laser apart and see what happens. Asking us to looks at blurry pictures so that we can guess is a little retarded.
