    Thank you thank you thank you! My lightsaber suddenly stopped registering the kyber crystal and I opened it up to find that exact same brittle data cable broken and I’ve only had it for a week!! With this video you’ve given me hope that I’ll be able to fix it!

    Just fixed my sons saber, thank you for this video, we were bummed. But some extra cables and a little time and it works great again. Plus now I have 19 extra cables for when it rips again 😆
  • My kid had taken his apart to try to fix it and was having trouble getting it back together. Your video helped me out and saved the day. Thank you for your help.

  • @AboutToDip
    This is very helpful, thank you so much
  • Great video! I was able to fix my lightsaber with the same issue! 10/10
  • Can you go into deeper depth with how to get the flat cable connected? I can't do it without it getting damaged.
  • @prabh456
    Do you know where to get more of those snap locks?
  • Thanks for this video! I need help with the battery side of my light saber!!!! Can you help me?
  • @ryanconrade1669
    What problem was your saber having when you realized you needed to fix it? Mine, after powering it on it keeps powering on. It is trying to shut off and then it reignites again and again with out moving the black button. Thanks for the video.
  • @Nathan-nr8yt
    Is there a link to the cable you used? I need to replace the same one.
  • My dads is having issues, at first whenever you’d do the action of the saber “hitting” something, it’d just shut off. Not like the normal saber shutting off, it’d just stop lighting up. I figured it was a battery issue, and I just switched them out and now it’s not working at all. I hope I didn’t break it Edit: nevermind there was just some weird white residue in the battery ports and I cleaned it out, it’s working now
  • So my saber was having an issue where it wasn't registering the blade. I found out it was because the ribbon cable was torn like what you had. I tried getting replacement ones, in fact, I got the exact same ribbon cable you used but it still was not working. It was really acting up. It was only showing green in the crystal chamber, the top lights above the chamber weren't working at all, it wasn't making the Kyber Crystal sound, and for some reason when I activated it, it was making the lightsaber sounds but not lighting up the blade and it never made the sound it makes when you first put the blade in. Would you suggest I should just contact Disney customer service and see if I can get a replacement one directly from them, or maybe find a different option?
  • @ryanjensen5173
    If you would know I just bought a light saber and after I changed the battery pack all it would do when I tried to turn it on was make a misfire sound nothing else do you have any ideas?
  • @macarelli2097
    Excuse me sir do you have a link for the red and black micro cable .. is it a 1.25mm ? Thank you.

    Do you know how to fix blade wobble/loose emitter slot? Idk if that's exactly what it is but Idk how else to describe it. When I lightly swing the saber around, I notice the blade has more wobble than before. It keeps disconnecting and reconnecting at the slightest movement, and making that audio clip when you install the blade in the emitter over and over again. When it's turned on it's more noticeable, because the blade light will power on over and over again as it keeps getting disconnected and reconnected. I wrapped a layer of thin tape over the black part of the blade to make it a "tighter" fit in the emitter slot as a temporary solution, but that won't last long as the tape degrades over time and use. Any idea how to fix it?
