Hello all,
I've been a long time knowledge absorber on these forums and now a first time poster. First of all what a great bunch of guys and girls, gotta love you guys.
Now the question, I had been using a smaller chinese laser and it's working fine but decided to get a larger one that comes in pieces.
I've got all other stuff figured out but CANNOT for the life of me solder the laser tube pins to the wires where it's supposed to be soldered.
I've tried various types of soldering wires but none seems to stick to the pole/pin sticking out of the laser tube.
I've cleaned the pins, have sanded it, have used the soldring flux etc. but still no go.
I'm worried that i'm damaging the laser tube now.
I would greatly appreciate you guys' knowledgeable answer on this.
Thanks,
Jay
