Laser Stars Machine Repaired

Disassembly, Diagnosis, and repair of a Laser Stars machine

Hey man, thorough information about the teardown of this seemingly ‘meh’ sort of gadget. I just wanted to let you know- This girl and I spent time listening to music like balmorhea and watching the stars and galaxy rotate on this star thing she brought over one night - I ended up marring her years later and we now have an 9 month old beautiful little girl named, Aria. It hadn’t worked for a few years and I didn’t have the guts to really tinker with the innards. But watched this and found It’s power solders where burnt to heck and that ended up warping a few boards. Now it’s Not to hard actually making one and..... Eureka! I know I may seems overly excited and all that. But I’ve rarely make comments and I just had to say, Thanks.

Hey Dave, How you been? That's a cool item. I didn't even know something that exists. Now I'm going to have to search for one. Thanks for sharing! Scott.

Nice work. Do you have any idea how to fix the grinding noise? Mine was bought from new and was quiet for the first year...

[@rotarycomptech]

I'm sorry I don't actually own this I just repaired it for a friend and shot a video you're on your own on the gear grinding noise

[@HoundoomHeart229]

Just curious if you ever found a solution cause I have the same problem with mine. It was nice and quiet for the longest time then one day it started making this awful loud grinding noise every time I turned it on. It’s so obnoxiously loud I can’t even stand to use the projector anymore :(

does anyone know the number codes on the resistors on D1 and D2 on the circuit board? I bought some new ones but they seem to be too big still, so trying to find the right ones. They are the little cylindrical ones.

[@Gooshfraba]

The cogwheels wont turn anymore,, any suggestions? looks you had the same thing, ill try to fix it soon,

[@AjI2009]

anyone have a picture of the diodes on D1 and D2. trying to get the hms color stripes

[@jacquelineokane6045]

can you tell me where to buy the diode in the uk if possible

[@rotarycomptech]

I got no idea

[@misslolaaa5344]

Apparently this place has replacement diodes, but honestly, you can order a 200 mw (make sure its focusable and fit it where the diode goes, can also change colors to purple or red if you do this). Just make sure you hot glue or something the plastic diffractor cap onto the new diode www.vaporstore.com/proddetail.php?prod=laser-twilight-replacement-laser-diode

[@misslolaaa5344]

If you've scrapped some of them for parts, is it alright if I could by the plastic cap that goes over the green laser from you?
