Just got KOTOR 2 the other day. I'm running around Peragus and I am currently in the dormitory next to the work bench and I finally have a few items to upgrade my vibrosword.
I plugged in a blade (?type) hit okay, plugged in an energy cell (vibro IIRC) hit okay, left the grip blank since I don't have one at the moment, and then hit upgrade item.
Once out of the work bench, my character does an unarmed flourish and my vibrosword is not in his hands.
I can see the vibrosword in the general inventory, but once in the equipping screen, the vibrosword is not an available option. Using the work bench again, I can see that it does think that I have 1 vibrosword in my inventory and it even shows the correctly updated stats.
Created a grip in the hopes that I may need all 3 slots full. No joy there.
If I remove all of the items, ....downgrade the vibrosword back to plain jane stock, then I get my vibrosword back with a flourish. And it is then available again in the equip item screen.
What in the hey am I doing wrong? I have the latest patch. Mmmm, used the charater editor from starwarsknights.com to monkey with a some stats, but that is about it.
Thanks,

I believe this happened to me too, although I cant remember how I resolved it. I do remember it wasnt a bug, just make sure that the components dont have certain requirements (stats etc)

Does the vibroblade still appear when you open the equip screen, but with a red background showing your character can't use it?
Sometimes your upgrades end up leaving the item they upgrade with a requirement for use, such as having to possess certain feats. I suspect that is what is happening here. If you look at the description of the item in your inventory you'll probably find that it has a requirement such a Weapon Focus: Melee Weapons listed in the description. I haven't got the game to hand, but I'm almost certain that the vibration cell is the culprit - remove it and you should be able to use it with the edge.
You might also try making some upgrades. Even a low level character with moderate skills can produce useful things that suit your style of play better than randomly found items.

as someone said, it may be because of you have upgraded the viroblade to high to use...all you have to do is up upgrade your weapon feats (melee)....but if you have a red thing around it it is because you do not have to proper prestigure (?) to use it.....as you get to a higher level u wil be able to use it...
it has happend to me before so i had use a blaster which i was crap at
try and get to a higer level and u will be able to use it

PC version.
I was wondering if I had managed to upgrade the item to a point where I couldn't use it. I read the descriptions of all the items and the edge did mention that it needed a high quality weapon, but the vibrocell didn't say anything about it.
I'm at the workbench on the Republic ship now, so I'll try a few more combinations to see if I can't work it out.
The new upgrade scheme seems cool if you have a lot of time to work all the factors out, but just for going in and playing to get things done, I have to say that I prefer the simplicity of the KOTOR1 upgrade system.
Thanks everyone

It was the vibrocell. It has a requirement of Weapon Focus - Melee. Which is at the top of the description, which my brain kept ignoring as useful text.
Thanks ladies and gents
