i got it goin , turns out there is another board in the handle. and the wires are labled on both boards i.e. each has a letter next to the solder point on both. i just matched the wires to their appropriate point and its like i have a new stick.
except the silocon/hotglue they spread all over the boards to secure the wires is a squeak to remove with out ripping out the wires themselves.
not even going to buy a new one seems fine, noone is more suprised my self.
thanks for the responce.
