Title: SP 12 Turbo: SP flips crazy when turning back on - SOLVED!
Post by: Elmbeatz on November 07, 2011, 11:28:33 AM
Each time I turn on my SP, nothing comes out of it. When I erase ALL memory, it works again (of course - all ram sounds and sequences are GONE  :-\  ??? )

Maybe it's the battery ? Any ideas?

Greetz,
Elm.

Mine did that when I first got it until I replaced the dead battery.

Thanks SO much.
So I was right...   Do I have to order at EPR or is it a battery that's pretty common and available?

Yea, if the battery is flat, everything is corrupt.. Even sound assignments for the preset sounds..

It's a pretty standard battery. I think it's a 3v lithium with solder tags in a 'AAAA' size (AA width, but about 2/3 length)

But I could be wrong.

You should measure the voltage on your battery before you replace it in case it's something else.

Already ordered a battery.
