Reviving an old thread :)

So I got my MadVapes order which included 2 of these laser pointers, and before hacking it apart I tested both of them; one worked great and the other didn't work at all. I decided to try and build the mod using the laser that doesn't work and naturally it doesn't work :facepalm:

What exactly would cause it to not work? Could it be something with the PCB board, the switch?

It would be a shame to lose all that drilling and dremelling work so I was wondering if there's any way to build the mod without the PCB board?

Thanks!

Can someone explain to me why this "test" is not working? At first I thought maybe it was because I was matching the positive wire with the correct positive on the PCB board but I tried every single solder spot and nothing will get that atty to fire. I took apart a working laser so everything should technically work right?

Also how am I supposed to figure out where the positive on the PCB board is?

Thanks to anyone who can answer my noobish questions :)

It appears that the OP had pictures / images in his first post...but I don't see any. Is it just because this thread is so old that they have been removed. My curiosity in making a mod has kind of grown in the past few months and would liked to have seen the diagrams and/or pics of how to perform this.

EDIT:
I say appears as in the first couple of his post he is referencing image numbers?
