I'm curious if anybody else here who bought unmodified high power lasers from Atlas Nova (or other suppliers) has the same experience I do?
I found that if I look at the buttons on the 105 with a jeweler's loupe there are extremely tiny impressions the approximate size and shape of the tip of an an exacto knife. That is the case on BOTH of the high power units I bought, while the low power units that I paid standard low prices for have no such marks, so it doesn't appear to be from manufacturing.
Does anybody else see marks like that? Any ideas what they are from?
I emailed AN directly about this, but got no answer, so I thought it would be appropriate to see if others are experiencing the same thing.
The reason I'm concerned is that a high power unit I bought quickly lost power. It was replaced with professional customer service, but the experince got me thinking the units are not durable, and afraid to turn them on for more than a second or two for fear they will burn out.
