Strange problem

[kcorbhv]

HI
i bought a dl 95 viper greeny and had it for about 3 weeks .
i put new batterys in it today and i noticed that when i initially turn the laser on that dot is a pretty good circle but when i hold it on for a few seconds the laser dot starts to change shape.
anyone seen this before????

its mode hopping.
it can mean its being overdrivven (probably because of new batts)
its too hot
its too cold
cheers

How long is "a few seconds"? If it's too long, the heat causes it to mode-shift.

thanks
has anyone else's laser done this? i cant seem to find any threads of the kind
it does it after 5 to 10 seconds when cold and once it starts doing it itll warp the dot after about 2 seconds of holding the button . i dont thin its from over heating (unless theres a hardware failure)
