Hello,
Let me start by first off saying I have looked through most of the hasbro sound threads and have tried to read up as much as I can on saber building. I hope to one day get a real soundcard for my saber builds.
If this particular hasbro board had already been described in another thread, please tell me where, and the rest of this thread can be ignored. This is the saber with a clear blade and changes color from blue to red with a switch attached to main board. It runs on 3 AA cell batteries.
I purchased a lot of 3 lightsabers on ebay. Got em real cheap because they were not working. They are all working now , but with some issues.

Attached are photos of the board and close ups.

I've got it mostly figured out. Just wondering if that small cylindar by the switch and caps on the main board is the clash sensor. If so I assume that the one attached to the LED array is the swing sensor(not working well).
I plan on replacing the array with an ultra bright blue LED I picked up locally that requires 1 watt. I hope to change out the speaker as well.
It looks like the transistor is set up with the switch to change between the two diffent LED circuits. With only one LED this would be useless, could the switch and transistor be removed /bypassed?
Or should I put two different LED's ? Could I just attach the two leads to the one LED?
I haven't even touched a meter to it yet. I was hoping someone has already completed a build with this board.
Anyhow thanks for any help,
