I was just wondering, since a dvd burner drive comes with a built in driver board, could I just use that board for the driver for the lazer when I salvage the lazer out of the drive?
Im using a old laptop drive that has a cd read/write and a dvd read/write.
Thanks Teufelwolf, however I was wondering if you could just hook up a power supply of some sort to the correct pins on the existing driver board inside of the dvd drive?

Many of the users on there build lasers from savaged DVD Laser sleds, so they are more likely to have direct experience with how to repurpose them. There are also some safety issues that I am not really on top of, but I believe that DVD diode can put out potentially damaging IR.
