Yes, especially the ‘enjoyment of your phaser part’?

For those with dead P1s, I have a rather wacky suggestion but that has twice worked for me with micro usb devices that would not charge and seemed dead. They would not charge with with a cable plugged into a wall plug charger, but for some reason leaving them overnight plugged in to the front usb port of a PS4 DID kick start the batteries back into life and they were then chargeable from any wall socket. I've no idea why, only thng I could figure is the signal or voltage out of the PS4 somehow bypassed whatever chip/circuit on the PCB of the devices was preventing charging and forced a charge. Obviously, this is a ludicrous long shot, but in that position I would be leaving the P1 to charge overnight from every device I might have with a usb out, including back of a TV, game consoles, laptops, docks, external drives or monitors with hub fucntionality... worth a punt, no? FYI, there is a process for doing this on youtube more easily, but that requires battery to be removed from its PCB which of course is the problem with the P1.

Thanks for the heads up. I'm still able to charge my phasers from the .5 amp USB port on my desktop. I still have the one and two amp options with different wall warts. Best. Mike.

Nice. A real shame designed in such a way as to never be opened, and a little surprising from Wand also, as generally they are very customer friendly. The Harry Potter style Wand for example you just send back to them for a £25 unit replacement.

Eric Nagy Posted a video of how to take the P1 apart, he did it twice with no issues, I'll see if I can find a link.

To All:

Here's a link to Eric's first video on cracking the Wand P1. If you do a search in the Group under his name you should find some follow-up postings that also may be of use.

Best. Mike.
