Don't post vendor inquires in the forum, any questions about warranty coverage or claims, lead time, ect, should be emailed to This email address is being protected from spambots.

If you're not well versed/have no experience in it, I would highly suggest at least contacting them first. They'll be able to at least help determine what may be wrong with you, and give you a clear idea of where to go from there. Sorry about the saber, btw. Happens, but it sucks when it does

My buddy and I got a chance to take it apart, it looks like some of the previous solder work on it was pretty crappy, it seems on impact during sparring the wires connecting to the recharge port broke, when we removed the LED quick connect you could see loose cables inside the unit.

This is now going to become our first real solder project, tonight all the cables are gunna be replaced and re-soldered, anyone happen to have a diagram of soldering layouts?
