LaserWave 640nm -A question for Bridge

[mophead]

Thanks Edison and Francesco. He had some diodes in stock and the exchange rate was really good right now, so I got 2. I'm much happier in this post vs. my previous post .

Going to replace it today and will update this post with some pics of the internals.....

no problem glad to help

I was bouncing the beam from a window, back to the wall close to where I was sitting. Got up to look at the beam, sit back down, one last tweak on the screw and POP!!!!!!!! One diode dead.

Yes, each diode in the module has a Lasorb® attached from the factory. So much for static protection.....

Finally had the time and motivation to get the diode replaced and realigned. Looks great again. Thanks Francesco.

While I had the driver apart, I noticed this. Now, I realize the ground and the neutral are tied together in the breaker box but I can't help thinking this had something to do with the static killing a diode.

Opinions?

Also, does anyone know which pots are which in this picture? I figured out a couple of them, but only guessing on the others. And as promised, a pic of the internals of the head.
