question

It can if it uses a kill key but you said you plugged it into the charger & it flashed. It doesn't sound like it's isolated.

[hrdwarhax]

yes but it was supposed to be, the 3 lead recharge port :O is it possible i attached the leads the wrong way?

[hrdwarhax]

tried it, that wasnt the problem, it has to be the driver

[RevengeoftheSeth]

Are you sure it isn't a short on the board itself? Possible that when you cracked it that you popped a lead on the board, too.

[hrdwarhax]

i see no other damage at all, no solder bridges or anything

[RevengeoftheSeth]

It may be a microscopic fracture on a lead. If the current arcs over the broken lead you can damage the electronics around it. You need to get a jewlers loop and look very closeley at the leads.

this is almost too much work for a hobby lol. if worse comes to worse ill buy a resister. and im pretty sure that it was the tallest thing that was crushed and thats the only reason why it cracked

[Sunrider]

If only the ferrite shield was damaged it would still work. There must be more damage. Take your time & have patience with cram fu.

lol, well before bed last night i did one more test, i teest i SHOULD have started with. im pretty sure my led released the white smoke... . i tried just it with some alkalines that i know work and it no work. so i tried all the hilt electronics with a different led that i know works and it is still stopped at the driver
