Oooh that's another good idea. I'm not sure how easily I could get my dremel in at that angle, though I do have one of the flexible pen attachments that should help. I do have a wire brush for...

Thanks for the reply! That's not a bad idea. The damage on mine seems to be much closer to the bottom of the threaded area, maybe two or three threads from the bottom? Not sure exactly.

And since...

Hey guys, it's been a while since I've posted. I've did a little searching on the forum but wasn't able to find another post with the same issue. Maybe I wasn't using very good search terms? I dunno....

It's possible that if the batteries are low then they may not be supplying a stable current. Could be fluctuating a bit.

Are you using the wiring harness for the Nano Biscotte?

If so, I actually found out that the wires for the battery and LED that go to the first pin were loose. Thus everyonce in a while my battery...

I've got everything wired back up, and its currently working great! Even got my recharge port wired up correctly this time around. I'll post some pics soon, though I've got some modifications I would...

Sorry for the double post but that worked! I've got sound and lights again! Thanks so much!

Now I just need to fix the loose cable in the pre-wired wiring harness. If I rustle the battery or LED...

That would literally be awesome if that is the case. I will throw it on the charger as soon as I get home to see if it works.

Thanks!

Okay, so this may be the wrong area, but I figure its either related to sound or electrical. I'm at work currently so I won't be able to take any photos till I get back home later.

Basically, I...

Check the area for hot water heaters in your hardware store. I had to replace the hoses to mine, and there is some yellow tape that you wrap the threads with to seal them. It really tightens them up,...

That sounds like a great idea Frank! I might look into that! I'm still trying to mock up some designs for what I want it to look at. I'm taking lots of inspiration from the gallery here on the forums.

They actually hold in place fairly well. They fit right into the grooves on the main hilt. I can force them to move though if I want, if I roll it just right, but friction from the machined grooves...

Thanks joshm74! I like it as well, its really well balanced as a one handed saber, yet I still have room for two hands if I need it. I just feel like its missing something... and I think a shroud...

Alright, first of all, I really want to thank the community for all the help they've been. I was able to lurk through and find mostly everything that I needed, especially things that had changed over...

I'll definitely keep practicing and keep that in mind for next time :) thanks guys!

Alright, got it working late last night. The problem was actually the opposite of what everyone suggested. It did have to do with solder, but I didn't have enough on one of the speaker connections on...

There is. Sounds like I'll be making a run there in the morning :) Thanks guys!

***Edit*** I just noticed that the corner of my NB nearest the two pads for the speaker wires is damaged. The thin...

What's the best way to remove solder? I don't have anything other than a basic iron and a spool of solder. Also, I did read through the config file while it was on my wife's phone. I played through...

SD card is removed. I wondered about that, as I said, I'm not very good at soldering. When I first "dry ran" everything without solder, I still couldn't get any sound. But everything else has worked...

Alright, second saber build here. First time using a decent sound card though, first build used an old Hasbro Obi econo-board.

Okay, so, my main problem I'm having is my saber has no sound. I...

Thanks so much Silver Serpent! That helps a lot. I'll make sure to get a proper resistor for the LED's.

I've been thinking about ordering a NB for my saber build, my main LED is 3.4v and I have the lithium ion battery pack that's 3.7v 2600mAh. Do I need a resistor? Or is the difference close enough...

Ah darn. I'll go ahead and just edit my post into a question instead. That way the thread doesn't need to be deleted. Thanks Jay-gon Jinn.

Ah, sorry about that. Can I still do a trade for another part if someone else wants this? I'll edit my original post.

Okay, so I bought a grab bag several years ago along with a few other parts to build my first saber. Unfortunately, my first saber was stolen out of my car several months ago. So I dug out all of my...
