I bought one of the cheap-o variety 5mw green lasers on ebay and stupidly tried to pot mod the thing. Needless to say it didnt work but I managed to trash the front end of the internal assembly and break the lens. Is there any way to install a new lens or repair it or should I just pitch it and get a new one?

Might be fund to tinker with and try to get working

I assume that the lack of response here is because the this is really only worthy of the garbage can.

Thanks for the reads

Better off just buying a new one. 5mW lasers aren't worth it IMO. 50mW+ and exotic wavelengths are only worth repairs.

This is a good replacement. But be sure to look into safety goggles too.
