I have received a beautiful, fully assembled RGB FX lightsaber I purchased from a saber fabricator/online store. It has an RGB LED with one red, one blue and one green and a Pico Crumble Light v2.5 (I believe) sound board.
The problem I have is that the saber's red LED is always on, even if it's turned off regularly or it's in deep sleep mode. If the saber is set to pure green or pure blue (which I understand should only have the respective single LED lit). The only way I can get the red LED to turn off is when I plug the charger into the recharge port or remove the battery from the Delrin chassis.
The blue and green LEDs seem to work properly.
I've already contacted the seller about it and they didn't know what could be the problem.
Since I ordered the lightsaber from another country and since Customs/Import tax here in the EU and shipping is very pricey and would cost more than half the new saber (I'd have to pay it again if I send it back for warranty repairs/replacement) which might not be worth it, I was wondering what the problem could be and if I could somehow easily fix this thing myself to have the red LED only turn on when it is supposed to and stay off otherwise.
I'm currently re-charging the included 18650 battery via the charge port to see if it might be a low power issue or something, but I thought I'd inquire about options just in case.
Is there a way to easily perform a factory reset on these sound boards to default settings that I could try?
I have no experience with things like soldering or electrical assembly (except for building PCs) whatsoever (which is why I bought a fully assembled saber to begin with so I wouldn't have to deal with the hassles of wiring, soldering, having to use my large hands to cram tiny things into a small hilt without breaking them etc.).
I don't suppose this sound board has coax connectors or similar for the wires so I can try to disconnect the red one and see if that helps, does it? Also, if I were to disconnect the red LED, would the rest of the saber still work and would the red one still suck power? If push comes to shove I could live with just the green and blue LED since I mainly want to use these colors and various mixes thereof anyway.
So I was wondering what my options were and if there are some detailed instructions to potentially execute such, perhaps some of the kind and knowledgeable saber gurus around here may have some ideas that could help.
Thanks in advance,
C.W.
PS.:
Here is a link to a picture of the saber set to pure red, pure green and pure blue, the Red LED is on for all of them.
