I've got the Hasbro Ultimate FX Anakin's Lightsaber, and on the Replica Prop Forum some guys were asking about how to disassemble this saber in such a way as to enable it to come back together. I decided to use my saber as a guinea pig and figured out how to get it apart without damaging it. However, when I went to put it back together, I accidentally caught the speaker and battery wires in between some of the alignment pins and guillotined them. So I soldered new wires in their place, closed the saber back up, and that was that.
Or so I thought.
For some reason when I swing it there aren't any "thrumm" sounds to go with it. I figure it's the swing sensor, but I don't see any damage on it or around it. Could the replaced wires have something to do with it? I'm an electronics noob, so bear with me. I also like these new sabers and would like to fix this problem rather than just junk it. Everything else works fine: the blade cycles up and down with activation, the LEDs are just as bright as before (though they now pulsate very slightly; I don't think they did that before), the activator works perfectly, the clash sensor works, and the hum works. It's just the swing sounds that are not working anymore.
