Hi everyone!
You all know this cheap Hasbro toy sabers with telescop-blade...
Now heres my question: Is there a version WITHOUT this annoying blinking when the saber is switched on and off?
Can anyone help me?

I'm afraid they have all done that since day one....some even do it during/after a clash is triggered...it's in the programming on the board, and there is really only one way around it....a DPDT switch set-up that uses the board only for sound, and either a resistor or separate driver for the led. There's plenty of info on that in the Saber Sound section, so a little digging may in order for you.

Actually one *could* just disconnect the clash sensor.
But that takes away the clash sound all together.

I never understood why FoC was so unpopular.
On the force action sabers its really not bad.

1999 Qui-gonn: it only flashes on and off not when it is hit.

Hi!
thank you for all your answers, but the 1999 qui gon saber DOES blink when it switched on and off. I know that because I've got one...

Yes sir.

Its just what hasbro does.

Even does it with the 5volt relay and mom switch setup i just noticed..hmm.

Well you could just use it to drive sound only and not hook it up the LED, but that would require a funky mom/dpdpt setup switch kind of thing I would imagine.
