Way back when I fried my arctic spyder pro III laser by putting two of the smaller type lithium batteries in it.
I think I fried the diode, however upon disassembly, it looks like it might have just fried the cable. I’m looking to test whether or not the diode is ok, however simultaneously, I think it would be a good idea to shop for a new diode. I really like the host and don’t want to waste that.
What would be a suitable laser diode for the old spyder? Since I bought it (back when it was just released during the $200 sale), 1W was around the max. Can the control circuitry handle more?
