Hi I recently got a 2002 Anakin fx el lightsaber. I got it relatively cheep, however it was in unknown functioning condition which turned out to be a big problem. Apparently when I turn the saber on, there are sounds (idle hum, clash, power up/down) effects work but not the el blade. I tried messaging the fx saber forms and nobody replied over 2 1/2 weeks so I hope someone could help me here. If there is a way to test the el converter board to check if that is a problem? Here is a picture of the electronics

also, upon opening the saber, it became apparent that somebody else has tinkered with this saber...

If somebody can confirm this the way the activation switch is supposed to be soldered to the wiring, that would also be amazing. Again thanks for anyone who answers!
