Take out all the material inside the USB charger and attached a USB lead to it.
Cut the lead and take out red and black wire . connect black wire to negative wire of laser and positive to switch attach other wire of switch to positive of laser.
Attach the wire out to main from charger to a two pin a fit all the components within casing .
