Pico Crumble doesn't wake up after deep sleep

[SilverKnight92]

Hello guys, I need some help with an annoying issue.
I've just completed my very first build using a Pico Crumble (Light Version), wired with an R-G-RB tri-cree XP-E2 and a 18650 removable battery. Blue and green dies are resistored with a 1 Ohm resistor and the red die got a 1.2 Ohm resistor.
When I pop the battery in everything works good: I press the switch and the soundboard revives, then I got sound, I got every color and FoC as It's supposed to be. The problem comes when I turn the saber off and leave it on the shelf fore more than 10 minutes, then when I grab it back and hit the momentary switch to turn it on again...nothing happens. If I pop the battery out, re-insert it and then hit the momentary switch twice the saber turns on again.
I double checked every solder joint and wiring, and I'm sure there are no bridging or exposed/pinched wires anywhere.

Could you help me to understand what's the problem?
Thanks.

I had a very similar problem with my Pico. I ended up having to swap the battery a couple times till I got it to act right. I ended up pulling the battery and setting the saber aside so i am not sure if its still having the problem, i can check later if I remember

So do you think it's all about the battery? I'm very worried about that, 'cause It's my first build
Can you please check if your Pico still has the same problem?

I am not sure if it was battery OR if it was simply my rebooting it enough times to get it to work

I will test it tomorrow morning

Sorry it took so long to get back

After swapping to the battery it Pico is working fine. I think I just have a bad battery in my bunch

I'm not sure what causes it, but on my pico sometimes it'll go into deep sleep, but it'll still drain the battery dry once in a while. If I recharge that same battery it's totally fine, but I have to swap out a new battery and everything is good again.

I have found that the battery holder is at fault sometimes. I have had to add a dab of solder on the + end of the battery to make contact with the terminal. Once that was done it worked like a charm. I use EBL protected 18650 3000 mAh Li-ion batteries. I think they may be slightly shorter that some of the others. Anyway...... that was a long winded way to say check your voltage at the terminal on each end of the battery holder with the battery in place....
