hi i`v mannaged to open my laser and I want to pot mod it.
i`v read things about not letting the current drawn go over about 400ma?.
how much current should I let it draw safley without cooking the diode as iv connected it to a power supply at about 2.5 volts and turned the pot up and it went up to about 800ma and i think thats too high.
so, what sort of current should I set it to and what sort of power will Iget out of it
thanks
