Hello people

I´ve just gutted this cheapy Vader marked "2009 LFL HASBRO", and the board looks like this:

I´ve been looking at the wiring schematics provided here already, but this board looks different from the ones shown in the diagrams. When the saber is powered, the leds flicker a moment and then remain on until a clash happens, flickering again. Maybe just a different board overlay, but essentially the same as the rest? I just want to drive a Lux III from this board, maybe with a recharge port.

Thanks in advance for your help.

yup. Exactly the same as the rest, the only exception being that your LEDs are mounted directly through the 90 degree board, instead of having wire leads.
You'll have to use a meter to identify which of the four traces are the neg, and join the appropriate three, but otherwise the 2010 schema should function the same.

Nice! I grabbed two of those, a Vader and an Obi Wan, intending to use the soundboards for a couple empty MHS hilts. Very helpful KuroChou, thanks!

All of the hasbros are similar enough in design, that if you can figure out why each of the pieces of the parts of a 2010 diagram are wired the way they are, you can pretty well fill in the blanks with any hasbro model.
