Hello. This is my first time building a saber so bear with me.

I'm using a Crystal Focus V8 with a color extender and a tri-cree LED. I have an 18650 protected battery with a switchcraft recharge port. All items were purchased from the TCSS shop.

I seem to be having an issue with the recharge port shorting internally. When lightly bumped it will pop and occasionally spark inside the port(See video link at bottom). I've redone all of the solder joints on the recharge port as well as the boards and am still having the same issue.


I am also having an issue with the color extender board where the second channel is not functioning. It worked briefly when I bumped the board but now does not function regardless of which LED I have wired to it. This may be a totally separate issue though.

Here are some pictures and a video for reference.

Thanks for any assistance you can provide.
