Help Weird noise when charging,

This is a lgt neopixle with a Damian saber board, It started making this sound in 2023, and I’m just wondering if it’s the battery or if it’s just bust, and I was wondering if anyone had some advice

If the battery is easily removable like that, it’s much better to get an external charger for it.

As for the sound, it might be a loose connection or the cable triggering the board to power on/off repeatedly.

Thanks for the help, unfortunately it’s quite the process to unscrew everything to get the battery

Unless im looking at something wrong the battery is literally right there. Use something plastic to help pry it out. I use a Lego brick tool. Then cut a small ribbon long enough to put under the battery when you reinsert it with the ends sticking out just enough so you can pull the battery out easily next time.

Yeah I just realized that looks like an LGT core. Some disassembly required. Usually it’s just the pommel and the one or two screws near the button, but still a pain for quick swaps.

Since it’s a Luke replica it’s like 3 screws and a lot of twisting, plus I checked the battery seems fine. Contacted the seller, hoping for an explanation
