I just bought the Obi-Wan Kenobi ROTS FX Lightsaber from FAO Schwartz last week and I am thrilled with the blade quality, the hilt and the lightsaber overall but I have a problem. I put brand new batteries in it when I got it, the same kind, and I powered it up as normal. The blade lite for about a week and then yesterday I tried to turn it on and nothing happened. I took the batteries out and checked the battery compartment for a possible short or something else, the compartment smelled kind of like a burnt circuit but it could just be the "burn in" as all electronic circuitry has. I put the batteries back in and the lightsaber turned on as normal. It was fine for a day then the same thing happened, I checked the batteries and put them back in and it turned on. I did some extensive searching on the internet and in the forums but I could not find anyone else with the same problem. I don't want to let the warranty run out (that is if FX still honors it since they will not be manufacturing them anymore), and the last thing I need is to be at a convention and have this happen to me. Does anyone have any information about this or what I should do?ie:contact MR??? Thanks to anyone who has any info!
