Title: New saber, no light but sound Post by: firegate666 on January 11, 2016, 12:47:40 PM Hi, just got my first blade from US, green light, blue flashes and soundboard (emerald driver)
When switching it on for the first time everything was fine. But then the normal green light stopped and only the flash was blinking then no light but sound still ok. Could that be a battery issue? I meassured 3.2V but they should have 3.7V so I put them on the charger and will try again later. Is it possible that this is due to low voltage or is that a LED issue?

Let us know if charging fixes it. Title: Re: New saber, no light but sound Post by: James Casey on January 11, 2016, 12:56:14 PM It definitely sounds like the batteries need a decent charge (especially if it's taken more than a couple of days to get to you).

Title: Re: New saber, no light but sound Post by: firegate666 on January 11, 2016, 05:50:18 PM Just got home, batteries charged, everything screwed together. Works like charm.
Thx a lot for your rallying calls :-) Title: Re: New saber, no light but sound Post by: Karmack on January 11, 2016, 06:20:07 PM LOL Always charge the batteries! :-)
Title: Re: New saber, no light but sound Post by: Racona Nova on January 11, 2016, 06:30:32 PM Great :D Always good to hear it's only because of the batteries :P
Title: Re: New saber, no light but sound Post by: Spades on January 11, 2016, 06:50:52 PM Love it, Thank you.
Glad to hear all is well. Title: Re: New saber, no light but sound Post by: Dauntless Seven on January 12, 2016, 05:53:13 AM Hi. A full charge for your batteries should be in the 4.2v range. Charge the Trustfire Li-Ions to at least a 4.0 . :)

However, don't rely on these types of chargers, it can happen that they display the batteries as "Charged" when you put them in. Then you have a dead battery which must be replaced. A charger with display will show you exactly how the voltage is and, if it recognizes a dead cell and has a refreshing program implemented, begins to revive it :) The VP1 from the Ultrasabers shop has this feature whereas the TrustFire doesn't.

Typically i just wiggle the battery around or clean the leads and the problem is fixed. When i finally have enough to buy another saber I am going to get a VP1 charger with it.

however I'm still not getting any lights. :( Hi, just got my first blade from US, green light, blue flashes and soundboard (emerald driver) When switching it on for the first time everything was fine.

Title: Re: New saber, no light but sound Post by: Damnjarheads on January 05, 2023, 05:16:19 AM HELLO. I got my new lightsaber. Fully charged the batteries. no lights. I have sound, but nothing. Any suggestions? Using the Li-Ion batteries. LED on the power button works.
