The other day my saber was working fine. I swapped out some MHS parts, no wiring changing or anything. When I did twist the Blade Holder back on, the lead/positive wires for my LED snapped off the resistor from twisting. Rewired it back up and the LED constantly stays on. Not in the same brightness though. Just removed all the wires, checked em out and rewired it back a little more basic and the problem still happens.

Here's my wiring to test it out. This is a brand new Cree LED, not the one that was in it at the time. (Although both work fine). This is turned off.

The only thing that looks questionable to me (mind you, I'm not that experienced), Is this part circled in red. Looks like I may have dropped a bit of solder in there? Or is that how it normally looks?

Any ideas?

Hmm Im not sure what the issue is, but I'de be concerned with the component (capacitor I think) directly beneath the ones you circled. The one to the right of the word Plecter. That looks pretty mangled to me.
