    Yep, there is no way I'd spend that kind of money on eBay.
    I just found it and thought I'd post it for reference

    Cheers Karl,

    How much is full power when you "remove" the limit?

    200mW, or that is what they are rated at.

    I think Ben is talking about the 79,ishmW limit that it has set on it at the moment.

    I let people know how to do it when I get the laser from Jim, I want to make sure that what I was told is the actual problem.
    CLICKY!!!

    With the greatest respect, he's been straight with you, he told you exactly what it was making. If it can be turned up higher that's a bonus for you, if not then you got exactly what he offered you.

    (Just adding this little bit of sense because I can see the whole argument blowing up again).

    I only expect the laser to do the 79mW he stated. If it does that and nothing more, I am happy with the deal and will hold nothing against him.

    I do however plan on changing it to make it put out more power. When I do that, and confirm the method works, I will post how to do it.

    Still not sold? What kind of price range are you looking for? (sorry if you already answered that elsewhere in the thread..)
