(Resolved) How do I replace the batteries in a Efx skywalker reveal saber?

[Cenobyte]

Hello all,

I brought my Luke ROTJ Efx reveal to work today to show it to some friends.

I turned it off and on a few times and finally, the green crystal started to flash on and off, fade in brightness and now does not turn on at all.

I checked all around it and cannot figure out how to replace the batteries in it.

Also, does anyone know what type of batteries I need to get so I can pick them up on my way home tomorrow if no one knows how to get to the batteries tonight.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Brandon

i think the battery is the silver cylinder inside the activation box where you turn the saber on.
It takes 3 x ag-5 button cell batteries which are concealed with a plastic cover in the control box

Thank you so very much.
That was exactly what I needed to know.
Ran to Wally-world and picked up 3 new batteries and it is working perfectly again.

Thank you again for your help.

Try batteries COmmand3r. I was praying mine was not broken as it worked earlier yesterday afternoon. Tried it again 30 minutes or so after showing the lights to some friends and nothing at all.
I would have figured it would have maybe faded out or got dim.
Lit right up nice and bright after I put the new batteries in.
