I found the problem, i took it apart and one of the chips on the board fell off. I am no electrical engineer so i dont know the proper "terms" but i am going to try to solder it back on... if its already trash, why not try? lol

So all i did was scrape the edge of the little chip with my knife to expose the metal and then hot glued it back on and it works perfectly. Sorry the pics are blurry... iphone =|

I was going to but there was literally nothing to solder... the part where the metal snapped inside the chip was minuscule, if the glue didnt work, that was my next option. But the glue worked.. haha. I will stick with that until something else comes up then i will attempt to solder it. i would take it apart and show you, but i really dont want to take it apart again. lol

where is....
i prefer to use hot glue on circuit board unless im putting in resistors/diodes/ect ect than thats the only time i use solder. hot glue alot is more durable than solder on non metal surfaces.
