Nah just get a new laser. You never know what damage was done to the diode with the pot like that, or the coils may now be shorted and that’s the ultimate reason why the fuse blew and soldering a resister in the pots place will do nothing for the diode or the coils and it could just blow the brand new fuse your about to put in again. Then you’re out another fuse and another order for a new one to fix it again. I would just get the laser and fuse from the same place if I could so what if it’s another $15 at least it will be one shipping fee.
