Hey guys
This is my first topic post so I'm not sure if I'm doing this right, but I just got back into using my sp404sx the other day after about a few months of it sitting around in my bedroom untouched, only to find that when I try to use it portably off its batteries, it doesn't work. It shows the "SP" of that intro banner then blinks off and repeats. I can still use it when I plug it in but if there's a way to fix this, I'd love to know.
404sx Won't run on Battery

Are you using new batteries? I've had problems with cheap batteries not lasting long at all! Also, if you leave the batteries in they will still run down. You should take them out, or, what I do is take a folded receipt or post and push it between the batteries tip and the contact when not in use.
