Hardware best site to buy new laser/soldering materials?

[shadowboy]

Adjusting the pot on my wii failed, so I need a new laser.
Where can I get one for cheap? Preferably a reliable site.
And are there any specialy made lasers floating around that are designed to last longer/ have the durability of compy lasers?
And If I need soldering stuff where can I get a cheap kit for that? (Quick delivery too, like one week?)
My wii is a d2a launch wii.

Thanks,
shadowboy.

For the lens, check out divineo.com. For the solder stuff, Radio Shack or some other local electronics store. I wouldn't go over a 15-watt iron tho. Try and get a temperature regulated one, they work so much better than some $10 soldering iron.

Thanks.
Any other sites than divineo tho? I've had problems with them in the past.

And what all would I need to buy to solder the new lens in? Just the iron and some soldering metal? What kind of soldering metal would work best?

Thanks again,

Do you live where they have Radio Shacks? Get their $5 solder, some kind of silver shit. That stuff's the best, .015 diameter. As far as lenses, I don't know, I'd google them. Just don't order from any site that looks shitty or anything.

yeah, lead/tin solder with rosin core, get the thinnest they have. the lead is very unfriendly to the environment...and probably bad if you eat it...but it works the best
