Hi ,
I have just taken out a three pin laser diode from a old Asus CD ROM drive , model no:CD-S500/A . I have tried applying +5.0V across its terminals , but i dont see any light coming out of it .
Any clue how to used it , or have i already blown it ?
i forgot to mention its has three pins , one is clearly connected to its body , i can only guess what the other two are for .
So applying 5v might have blown it ???
