HOW TO MAKE A DVD BURNER LASER PEN

How to turn a dvd burner into a full blown laser pen like youve seen in other videos that can light matches burn plastic and generaly melt things that you don't like anymore like balloons
Specs
200mW Average
225mW peak

I apologise for the shakiness table wasn't level!

Remember lasers are dangerous, they are NOT toys! Never point lasers at any living thing / moving vehicles! Be sensible and responsible when using lasers!

so here we are once again with my most
ambitious project to date
i will show you how to undo the burner
into a nice . er obviously first need a
better
this is not broken what I had came out
my friends computer
it reads this so the laser works but it
was very properly so I'm hoping she's
probably the motor
so what I want to do is remove all the
screws on the bottom of it and then put
the bomber revealing a load of circuitry
and complex things harder to understand
the next thing we want to do is get from
Placer to do that we have to open the
drive is a little hole there
why did I fold a paper clip unfold the
paper clip and children hole
this activates the dr square release to
get and let God the front then pops off
you put it on the bite then that it
slides out and from there
top four jobs
there we go
place bit of effort revealing everything
to me
and here you can see the laser this is
the bit we want
now all these haven't told him with his
little brother thingies and ribbon
cables
there's a little rubber things they're
not very hard thats cruising the beach
taking out a simple
what you got all that out you want to
remove the motor that was four screws
and yeah
have a listen it was an odor
and you can see that riding on the right
I'll think that the drillship thing in
the background so i want to do is remove
all the little screws around the holding
in the wires remove all the screws are
holding around the wires now that comes
up and the wiser free which then
releases the rounds
now we have the laser assembly
so why take a little screwdriver and
undo all the screws on how just got lost
I will leave this and just show world
screws are in fast motion if it's any
consolation to you
then it's got pipe just pulls up
revealing lenses showing me that lies
diabetes a total internal reflection
what happens when you pass an object
through a refractive substance
now what we're going to remove this bit
about you think as a diode but it's not
it's just a lens
this is laser diode in the bottom of
this next one the mirrors
well reflective box that the total
internal reflection because mirrors that
reflect everything that fits snugly out
there now to get the laser out the heat
sink
I use a hacksaw go around it and don't
cut through it
mentally I went into it a little bit
you'll see later we go we have the tiny
laser diode
this thing is absolutely tiny it's a
very delicate don't break it
three pins a lot that the negatives at
the top clusters on the right there we
go
it's a big glass diet is better 5p and
double-a battery in case in America now
all of this from axis and allies module
it was a few dollars which translated
into even fewer pounds as focus lens
there's a little eyes diet which we want
to get out of it
let's go about it
and get the lifestyle I was delighted i
found a screw that it just inside the
housing but didn't wasn't too big and a
hammer and gently tapped out the
existing laser diode or diverges this
negative on the right
positive at the top and the bottom
monitor use it doesn't do anything
don't even seem to be connected the
other ones ok let's test it
there we go red and probably powerful
it's not focused
why it wasn't damaged in my camera
we'll see how focused he is the second
I move the camera
it's a little bit
I look at my covered
ok now focuses
that's why I bought the folks all that
was just in case
now I put inside of this is not talking
toy gun as a battery compartment we are
thinking perfect my switch and you had a
push button switch at the bottom in the
first place
that's even better
it comes back and reveals lots of space
me to put my stuff in there
now is the circuit to double-a batteries
they decide to switch them to the push
button switch got that one going on when
I don't lead him to laser diode now
surprisingly this is just an alligator
in a reflector
I thought it would be a ball but some
sorting this torch but now so take it
out there we go
why did I cut the ends off the LED that
we are now going to attach them to the
diode just to make it easier
there we go i soldered it
they're not solder solder and then glued
the lens into they're just so it's got a
nice face I'd like to do you think
hey you can see how about switching and
we get nice and push button switch legs
straight and the safety switch which
then leads into the diode into the power
supply
do not put an onboard battery on that no
matter what how much it looks like use
one of these are not one of these but
one of the second i took that got one
off and we want it all i have to do is
move the wire along car show in a second
very easy to do you could train a
drafted
I think there's a why I've got in close
to make sure it's secure the loan your
batteries and there you go you have a
laser making the DVD better
I'm looking for John because I'm
guarantee you've seen a few they'll be
able to light matches been through
plastic in gravy name and stuff and they
have it
that's my laser pointer have a HD photo
of it
thanks for watching don't forget
