For any one who has never seen the inside of a CNI green laser hears your chance. The reason for opening it was that I could hear something lose inside. It turned out to be two screws had not been screwed into the plastic enclosure for the crystals near the front properly back at the factory. I hope this is the reason for the laser doing nealy 100mW less than my other CNI.
Unfortunatly when I opened the laser for the first time I went in from the bottom and managed to break the black wire of the pump diod. (see second photo.) Will try and reatatch the wire when I get my soldering iron back tonight. (Please will you all cross your finger for me. Can't cross mine while holding the iron.) Photos below and befor the end of tonight this baby should be working again with a bit more power.
