yes, the build your own lightsaber kits are horrible. a friend and i went together and bought one to check it out. it was on long enough to test all the sounds and colors, but it quit working soon after. no dueling or anything, it just died.

I think removing the Hasbro clash sensor and adding the MR clash sensor would stop the clash flash. kind of defeats the idea of building less expensive sabers with sound though. i think the springy thing that senses shorts the light for the flash. just a thought. It would be nice to be able to flash a chip; with your own sound; like an atmel chip or some sort of mp3 board. it could resolve several issues and create a New thing altogether.

tetmatec, it's not the sensor, it is on the board. I don't know enough electronics to point it out, but I removed a clash sensor and just touched the wires for a fraction of a second. The clash sound came on and the light flashed for a whole second or more - way past the time I actually made the connection.
My local Malwart only sells the crappy Obi AOTC and the generic (reversed hilt colors Qui-Gon Jinn) with red or green "blade" in that $8 bin as well.
Another thing - I discovered that if you change the momentary switch on the Hasbro to a push on/push off or slider(continuous on) switch, the contraption turns off at the first clash. So, it needs to be momentary. I've heard there are some spring loaded slider switches out there that combine a momentary and a permanent connection switch. Still looking.
Tim, any help there?

Mi, yes, that's it.
So, you alluded to running the power from 2 of your AAAs. I've been toying with the ideea for a while. You say it doesn't work?
Did you try this:
Of course, you still need to add your resistor and switch for the LED. The light output from the board you can leave dangling or add another hiltside mounted LED for effect.
