Star Wars lightsaber

Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge Lightsaber

At first glance, Obi-Wan Kenobi’s lightsaber from Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge looked perfect – sleek, detailed, and ready for action. But once powered on, the unit began to flicker, restart, and fail to stay active. The problem? A voltage issue.

This particular lightsaber replica relies on a power cell that must deliver consistent voltage to start up correctly. However, after some testing, it became clear that the unit wasn’t receiving enough power to remain stable. The result was a frustrating loop of booting up, then shutting down almost instantly – much like a dying battery in a phone.

To fix the issue, the power source was tested and replaced with a fully charged, higher-quality cell that matched the manufacturer’s voltage requirements. After this swap, the lightsaber powered on smoothly, held its iconic hum, and was fully functional again – ready to defend the galaxy.

Repairs like this remind us that even high-end collectibles, especially those with electronics, can suffer from common faults. But with a little technical knowledge and care, they can be restored to their former glory.

May the Force be with your repairs!
