Title: BRAND NEW Diamond Saber Wont Turn on/Light Up
Post by: Darth Gargamel on June 15, 2019, 07:19:00 PM
Just got it in, and nothing happens when I push the button. They forgot to send me my slow charger, so I have to use one from a rival company. As far as I can tell, the batteries are fully charged, but nothing happens unless it is plugged in whin i push the button. Then, it only has sound, and no light. there is no tab to pull, I've taken the batteries out and put them back in. Am I missing something? Been reading the manual, but can’t figure it out...

Perhaps it's not in the startup mode. It could be in a different font. Try to cycle through them and see if that helps.

I’ve cycled through all the fonts, turned the volume up and down. All I get is sound. No light. And I only have sound and control capabilities when it is plugged into a third-party charger. (They forgot to send me either of the two chargers I ordered) if I press the button when it is not plugged in, nothing happens at all. The launcher on my computer can read the board, detects no problems, but has the “test” button for color grayed out. Guess I’ll try to find a charger here in town, but if it won’t take a charge through the charge port, I’m not sure what to say...

In the unboxing videos I see for mystery sabers, there is a paper tab or piece of tape they have to pull out before the saber will function. I don't see any such thing in this saber. The only way i can get power (Schwing! Obsidian!) to it is to plug in a charger, but that doesn't seem to charge the batteries, and only powers up the sound, not the LEDs...?

They sent me new batteries - they did the trick! Programming away on new fonts! 😁😁😁

Note: The paper tabs are usually only on the battery packs that aren't rechargeables. Like in stunt sabers using AAA batteries.
