The end snapped off my kill key inside my silver knight and the plastic "pin" got pushed all thw way in. I just got the silver knight so I have no idea how I'm supposed to take it apart. How do I get the pin out?

Fine tweezers will be your best bet otherwise rewiring a new charge port may be required.

You might be able to insert a very small screw to the centre of it, and pull it out - I'd be EXTREMELY careful though.

If all else fails a mechanic's trick I have used before, you can heat an 'L' shape small piece of metal (safety pin) and insert it in the plastic, let it dry solid then slowly pull.

This trick works if all else fails. When I worked as a Stage Technician I used to do the same thing with power supply adaptors for musical instruments when performers stamped on wires and broke the plugs off in the sockets. For Tyeth |

If all else fails, PM me and I'd be happy to rewire a recharge port for you. You just worry about the shipping.

Thanks for all the help guys! I'll know more when I get back home Sunday and can try to work on it myself (but I doubt I'll be able to accomplish much)

Alright, I managed to get the kill key pin out, now I just need to figure out how to take this thing apart exactly.

If you had success with removing the snapped off stem inside the charge port, what else seems to be the problem that a replacement kill key cannot solve and would require further dismantling?

Some of the connections to the soundboard seem wonky. I need to check them to resolder them. Basically when I remove the kill key, the board starts (you hear SaberCore Viridian) and then nothing happens.
If I shake the hilt, it just keeps repeating Sabercore Viridian. So I'm trying to take the whole thing apart to fix up connections and such. |

That would make sense since the bottom of the recharge port gave out during the kill key incident so the metal rod of the recharge port is loose and moving. That would explain it.

Have you contacted Customer Service (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
) about a possible warranty repair yet?
If the saber is under 1yr old you're covered by the warranty, but any self or 3rd party repairs will void it. I'd check with CS first before sending it out to someone or doing it yourself, just in case anything else comes up you'd still be covered by the warranty later. |

Oh I bought this saber used from the facebook group and it's been discontinued for a while so I didn't bother.
