Possible SaberSound damage?

[Maurnick]

This is shot in the dark of anyone knowing a definite answer. But I thought I'd try.

I just received 2 new Saber Sound boards today. One has a rather burned looking edge to it. Maybe done during manufacturing. Could it be damaged/fried? I don't have any necessary materials to test it out quite yet.

If anything, I'd use this post as a date stamp until I can get some materials so I can prove, to some degree, it wasn't me.

I would contact Saberforge immediately. Don;t test it, don't mess with it. Just ask him what he wants you to do. He is a nice guy, I am sure he will help you.

[Maurnick]

Will do.

Thanks so much.

[Jedi-Loreen]

Yeah, that doesn't look good, especially where that trace is exposed in the burnt corner.

It's off-topic, but... hey, I just noticed that the board is made by the same people who made the Ultraboard (?)

Yeah. Saw that too. Same manufacturer or the components come from the same place.

[Jedi-Loreen]

No, same manufacturer. Wouldn't have their name on it if it was just the same components.

SF should never have sent out a board to a customer that looks like that, IMO.

Could have been by accident? I mean people do make mistakes.

With only 100 boards made for this first run ever to be presented to the public, 1:100 is not a bad 'defect' ratio, but yeah.. it should NEVER have been sent to a customer looking like.

My two boards, installed by Saber Forge in the 2 hilts I ordered recently, came clean looking and without issue that I can see. They are not wrapped in any protection or seal, so that's a big issue if the hilts ever should contact the boards and cause a short. I will be shrink wrapping them myself asap.

Any word back from Saber Forge yet on your issue Maurnick?

I wouldn't shrink wrap it. Just line the hilt with a plastic sheet for protection.

actually since the SS doesn't use voltage or current regulation I wouldn't think it gets that hot like the US 2.x so shrink wrapping it might be OK.
