I received my RGB Overlord yesterday.
I found that to dislodge the electronics (speaker/batteries/sound) I have to shake it quite vigorously. Tapping on something soft, like the couch or my hand doesn't do the trick.
Also putting the electronics back in, I have to screw on the pommel for the "final push".
Is it normal that it's this tight?
When looking inside, it seemed that the wires were glued to the inside wall, not just the electronics and switches. Is that how it's supposed to be? It seems to very much limit their range of movement but it might be to prevent damage?
I've also wondered if you can remove the LED. I've screwed off the top portion so I could see the LED assembly. I've tried shaking it in similar fashion to how I've got the batteries to move but it didn't budge.
Finally the AV switch has a bit of play on its "bevel" and this makes a constant ringing sound when I move it. How is the AV switch connected, is it screwed in? Then I could try to tighten it. But if it's glued or soldered in, then I would break things if I try to do that.
I'm also still figuring out how to adjust the volume without having to download the fonts each time. Read/Write parameters doesn't seem to do anything.
I am very happy to have ordered the RGB version. Switching colours on the fly is something I really like. I wish it could be combined with the free colour selections of Emerald, so you could switch between custom colours at the push of a button.
I got a Free Initiate with it as part of the Summer Sales, and I like it a lot. It looks like the The Initiate LE v2, but with red instead of gold stripes. As I was complaining that I would like to see more sabers with red (and blue) instead of black markings, it's like it's a custom order for me personally.
