for these speakers it doesnt matter what side is positive and what side is negative, the pads on the left are for one side of the coil and the 2 on the right are for the other side of the coil. so if the pad you tore off was on the left then resolder to the inner pad on the left, but if it was the inner pad that u ripped off and had the little tiny wire that goes to the cone of the speaker your speaker is no more lol.

Thanks Pip. It was one of the outer two pads that got torn off. I resoldered the lead to the pad next to it so I should be good to go.

Well, I got the battery today (Kant Lavar was kind enough to sell me his extra one) and spent the evening soldering up the connectors. I got it all wired up and went to test it...

nada.

No light-up, no "Hi welcome to ultrasound two point five" no nothing.

I checked and the board is getting 7.84v. Checked the snappy-switch and it works good. Unpluggd the connectors and re-connected them. Was about to give up and send the whole mess to Do-Clo to get it working, when I tried the tactile one more time...

BAM!! The main LED fired up. Hit the tactile again and the LED started flickering slow... again and the flickering got faster... etc... When I realized I was actually running through the US2.5 setup sequence with no sound, I unplugged the battery.

I guess I really did fry the speaker during all the stupid noob tricks I documented earlier in this thread.

Oh well... off to the store for another speaker. Starting to hate this hobby.

Anybody have any other ideas, or how I can be sure if the speaker is toast?

Hey man it happens to the best of us, I fry'd a speaker on my CF saber somehow and I have done 3 different setup so far.

Just remember that when its done you will have the self gratification of "Hey I built my own saber", yes you will know every mistake but that is something to get over.
