My friend gifted me a Hasbro Obi-Wan Force FX Lightsaber, but somehow the power switch broke off from the shaft and yanked the wiring to the circuit board with it. I was able to disassemble the piece up to a certain point--the black plastic cylinder holding the circuit board was removed from the aluminum outer casing, but I see no way to open this plastic cylinder to be able to solder the power switch wires back onto the circuit board. It looks like it's also super glued together. Is there an actual method to open this thing or do I have to carefully pry it open with a screwdriver or something, then glue it all back together when I'm done? I know it's a long shot, but I'm hoping someone has had this exact same problem. It's just my Jedi costume just arrived for Halloween and of course I realized this huge problem when I tried to turn on the lightsaber today. Someone save me! Picture of the piece here http://i.imgur.com/m8HEk2n.jpg (also posted to r/answers, though I think it's more likely to get a response on this sub) My force fx elite Ahsoka Tano lightsaber keeps doing the flash on clash effect when I swing it. Does anyone know how I can fix this? from lightsabers My nephew broke the blade on an old FX lightsaber I gave him. It broke right near the base. Is there any way to fix the blade with a plastic tube or something? I couldn't really see how the blade is attached to the hilt.
Didn't hyperdyne do a better blade for MR sabers? Not sure if it also work for the FX. I wrote him recently, but haven't heard back regarding my inquiry. Maybe you'll have more luck!?
Yes. There is a way. Go to the custom saber shop forums at http://forums.thecustomsabershop.com/forumdisplay.php?f=15 They have most o f the tutorials posted for breaking down the force fx sabers and converting them to single LED sabers. You can also purchase the parts you need from their site. You can even get thicker walled polycarb tube that hold up better to dueling.
Thanks! I'm not looking to put a bunch of money into it. I had an old Vader fx that was replaced because the emitter shroud was cracked. It still worked otherwise so I fixed it up for my nephew. He's 6, so he really doesn't need an improved version.
BTW, does anyone know what type of plastic the blade is? It looks like you can disassemble the saber and just replace the plastic blade.
which vader saber is it that broke? ESB? ANH? was it the leds inside that arent working or did the blade actually crack off?
Thanks! The LED blade works fine. I think he left it on the floor and my 2 year old niece thought it would be good to bounce on.
Sorry for digging up a dead thread, but my ANH Vader saber recently had it's LED not function. LINK Suggestions? :cry
Start looking into lightsaber conversion kits. These basically replace the strip of LEDs in the blade with a single LED at the base. You don't get the cool scrolling blade anymore, but you have a working light. Another option is to eBay the LED strip for the saber and simply replace it.
The nice part apart replacing the LED strip with a single LED in the handle is the blade then becomes removable. Definitely check out the link higher up in the thread.
You can get replacement blades a Ultraforcesabers.com or you can just convert it to a single LED like a luxeon or seoul p4,JQ sabers or The Custom Saber Shop for conversion kits and all supplies you need for it - - - Updated - - - The Custom Saber Shop or JQ Sabers for conversion kits to give it a single high power LED |
