ok found an old vader (for Free) hasbro hilt so i took my smash-n-pry tool and extracted with less then surgical precision the life of the old saber and this is what i got(sorry was taken with my phone:





now i want to use this in the new led saber i am saving up for and i gonna go the MHS style how will i wire it up and the only schmetic i have seen is with corbin driver board is there any i dont need it(no offence corbin i just dont know what it does) cause i want to plan it before unlike my el saber with pretty much on the fly work

Well, since you were gone there is a new wiring forum. There are plenty of diagrams there. From the looks of it yours is pretty straight forward. Black and Red are the battery wires and the Yellow is the lamp wire. The lamp wire will to the LED as if it was the positive resistored wire and then put a wire from the battery to the LED.

Since I don't see sensors you probably won't have that blasted flash on clash too. As for Corbin's driver... read the description. It does a lot of good stuff.[]

Lots has flown around since you were gone. Check out the stuff. Especially the FAQ and Thread index.[]

Before posting did you check the Thread Index?

You'll have to replace the speaker. Those old speakers don't fit in a 1.5 sink tube much less the MHS.

This board is not as old as you think. The speaker is the newer style that will fit in a sink tube and like Xwing said the wiring is a piece of cake. Just follow the diagrams that are here and if you get stuck just shout and I am sure one of us can help you work it out.

have you decided on corbins board to use with it? or are ya just gonna go with it to power the lux and hook it up that way? and i dont know know if the older boards are voltage dropped enough to run the lux without a resistor. id ask if you needed one.

You dont know the POWER, of the dark side...

i am still trying to figure out corbins board

I hope this question hasn't alrady been answered. I searched the forums and couldn't find a good answer.

This is my first Saber. I am running a 3Watt Luxeon star with a 5W 2.2Ohm resistor. I am using 4AA batteries

Here is my problem....
I am trying to also get an Old hasbro sound board to work...I used an older Anakin sound board(no light clash)..hooked it up and..Nothing...I tried again with a newer Windu Board and it worked for a little but then stopped(hopefully I can just get a new fuse)..... Now I am assuming that I am applying to much voltage to the sound board by attaching the LED to it?

My question...
How do i run the LED without frying the board...I am running on a pretty slim budget right now and can't afford Corbins board


If this all works out I have 5 more sound cards ready to be gutted and made into newer LED Sabers. I just ant to get this first one working before I start on a small production line.

Thanks in advance
