You should be able to clean the tip. Try a little vinegar and salt, then wash it off real good. Or try sand paper. If you have big globs of solder stuck to it you can try whittleing it off with a knife - solder and tin are reall soft metalsWell I guess it's safe to say I ruind yet another tip unless I can still tin the tip?
Ok so I finally did start from scratch, I undid everything from the circuit and got fresh wires and re soldered everything, also I bought a new battery same thing but a new one just to make sure its not the battery.and for some reason my saber still dose not turn on. I followed every ones advice and I'm still in square one, can anyone help me as to why my saber doesn't want to turn on?
any help is greatly appreciated

Did you make sure you have the switch parameter set for the proper switch that you have?
Did you make sure the battery pack is fully charged first?
Also, let's see the new pics of your wiring job. You know the drill by now.

"Yeah, yeah, I've heard it all before... you want blindingly bright, super loud, running 1138 blinkies off of the cheapest sound card you can find AND you want all of it to run on a battery the size of a dime, and run for a very, VERY long time. That one cracks me up every time..."

for the switch I followed the diagram. is there anything else I can do to trouble shoot the switches?
the battery I made sure its charged before I connected so I know the battery for sure is fresh and fully charged
