    we need a better picture.

    One that is directly on the board.

    your switch wiring is going to be tricky...

    Since your switch contacts are directly on the board, you're going to have to solder wired to the appropriate spots on the board itself.

    Jay-gon has a pic of how to do that somewhere here. Search through his posts to find it.

    But yeah, we need better, and bigger pics of your board.

    Some wires should be self-evident, like the speaker and battery input.

    actually there is a swing sensor and clash sensor which are attached to it and then it is connected to the speaker as well. but then there switch on the back i have to solder to, now, there is a yellow and red wire coming off the board. those might either go to the battery or the LED, but then there is no wires to the other.

    It looks like a soundcard from a toy lightsaber. If so checkout this thread.

    It has lots of helpful info for hooking up these soundboards. But it gets complicated with the more powerful leds.

    yes, i have seen that, but my switch is located on the back, and the board is a different set up, i stated in the first post i have not found this board with searching for it.

    pictures are here. alright better ones!


    that is of the back of the board, i know that i need to put the switch on the traces there that look like 2 3's facing opposite of each other.

    here are a couple images of the front of the board, best i could get.





    now there are some wires coming out the board.



    so the two grey wires to the right clip to the swing sensor, the black wire on the left goes to the clash sensor, the grey wire on the left that is unhooked goes to the speaker along with the one that is on it, and then there are the two wires that i am not sure what they go to, the red and yellow, this could be where the splicing the "Y" into the wires come into play from the tutorial linked to in this thread, but they arent the same boards so i am unsure.

    the two leads i need left are the LED ones and the battery ones so im guessing the red and yellow ones go to one of them.

    thanks everyone!

    The pics need to be BIGGER so we can actually see the board.

    Now that you have bigger pics up it looks pretty similar to the 2001 Dooku board that you saw in the other thread. It looks essentially the same. Right down to the colors of the wires. I would try to wire it that way.
