Question

How do i make a easy light laser(not a burn high tech laser) out of a old cd-rom drive?

Answer 1

Please do not try playing with the laser in a cd-rom, it does produce laser radiation, especially when you expose the laser.

Read the yellow label on the drive you will see.

Don't play with this you will regret it later.
