NB v2 Static issue
Last weekend my saber had a lot of use because I was at a weekend Star Wars camp. At one point I was using it as a flashlight and the speaker just started pumping out static along with the regular sound font. (No impact or anything.) I figured it was a low battery so I left it charging for about 6 hours, but the problem persists. Anyone else ever have this or know how to fix it? I'm wondering if I blew the speaker somehow.
Might want to check your wiring. Something may have come loose and/or shorted out.
We all have to start somewhere. The journey is all the more impressive by our humble beginnings.

Wires were fine. Blew the speaker it seems. Swapped it out for a lower power one for now...but I also noticed that my FoC doesn't work.
LED is fine. There's continuity from the NB to the PEx and from the PEx to the LED. I've tried bypassing through a second PEx with no success. Any ideas?
Have you bridged or joined the positives on the PEX (sorry if I'm stating the obvious).
No, I checked that. The PEX is actually one of my best soldering jobs since it was one of the last components I added. I did email Erv and he said the following:
"No idea. If the broken JST created a short circuit it could have damaged the board. Test the FoC pad with a 3 or 5mm LED and a resistor to see if it flashes. If it does, the board is ok."
So...how exactly would I do that? Would I connect the LED to the + feed off the battery and the negative to the FoC pad? Should it light up immediately or does it depend on the clash?
No, i mean this.........Attachment 13685
Oh, no, I completely bypassed that. (Yes, there is a resistor)
