2024-12-21 (Sa) EWC_Noodle Internal fixes

I bought new batteries to test if the electrical problems were caused by failing cells. The new 18650 immediately powered up the system. I do not have a headphone connection yet, but am holding off until I decide how crucial it would be. I fit the case's top and bottom back together, but I had to trim away four plastic tabs that hit the new hardware inside. I powered the unit back up and heard a lot of static, and my velocity potentiometer stopped working. I reopened the case and measured the voltage from the booster, and it was below 4V, so I adjusted it back to 5.00VDC. There are still static bursts coming from one of the speakers, and it gets warm, so there may be a DC leak.

That should have been 5.00
