Hey guys, I have a 1.2w laser I bought from "yobresal" many many years ago from this forum however it seems like he has not been active on here in quite some time so I am hoping someone might be able to give me some advice here.
I stopped using the laser for a while and after recently re finding it cleaning out my storage unit, I would like to start using it a bit again. I bought new batteries for it and it mostly works, however it has intermittent issues.
When I try to screw the back cap of the laser back on for the batteries and turn on the laser most of the time, nothing will happen. If I then unscrew it (with the power button "turned on") and start to re-attach and screw it back together, then the laser will typically come on and light up, however as I continue to screw the cap on, the laser will eventually shut off. It almost seems like when I tighten it all the way it will shut off. When I leave it in a "half attached" position and let the laser run for a little bit, then try to screw it back down all the way it will typically seem to run normally after that until next time I try to use it.
I don't know if the laser needs to "warm" up even though it is summer time here and very warm out, or if there is too much pressure or what. I have never taken the laser apart for any reason and never had this issue previously when I had first gotten it and used it and looking for some advice to make this a little more normal and reliable for it. Trying to hold a laser this powerful while screwing on an end cap with the laser turning on and off and moving around does not feel like a very safe way to be using it and would like to get it back in normal working order.
I can always provide pictures if needed as well.
