Ok, thanks! I do not understand - that is inside the BD139, right? What can I do about it, if it is still the same BD139 transistor??? I finally managed to get at least something working: Short-circuiting +5V to 4N25's pin5 turns the laser power on and off as required. I am left with an impression that 4N25 is not working correctly. Is that diode next to R1 mandatory? I will not have a time to obtain one and solder in, before going to client. I just hope that I have spare 4N25... How sensitive to soldering heat are things like 4N25 optoisolators? Maybe I have accidentally burned it?
