The 360 drives use red lasers.
The 360 drives can't be turned into burning lasers.

Google around for a diode driver circuit. You'll need one to drive the laser. You'll also need a heatsink.

If you want a burning blue laser, you'll need a bluray burner and will need to extract the laser diode, put it in a heatsink, and drive it with the laser circuit. It's more work and money than it's worth.

Check out dinodirect.com. I got my 125mW green laser for $30 and yes, it does burn.

It's impossible to convert a $10 one into a burning one... But there are cheap burning ones, like using a Blu-Ray laser diode. Kicks had some good links too.

Thanks to HiddenVenom for the sig!
