[Perez-Allende]

I was un scrweing the top off like nova told me to clean laser, and I heard a wratling noice........ Next thing I now, I look into it, and I dont see the blue thing that was there before, I move it a bit to see if its tehre, and its just out of place, but now the beam is TOO fat now, and its all bad !!??!!

Sounds like you ir lens fell out and is maybe in the way of the beam fattening it.

For God's sake... No matter what you do... DO NOT look inside the laser aperture with the batteries in place... :-?

Simply unscrewing the top will not cause anything to fall loose ! Did you drop it, or bump it on anything ? If there IS something broken - I suggest you do NOT try to fix it yourself, and contact Nova for an RMA.

This is pretty common with the CNIs actually. It sounds like your collimator shifted around a little. The little aluminum plate in the front with the lens in it is not glued down or anything and can turn, thus screwing up your collimation. Your lens may have also fallen out, but that's less likely. If its the collimator, you can RMA it or try turning it back into position
