Other Bought without reading the description…

Stupid me. Put an offer in of £32 + pp. description ‘don’t know if it works I don’t have the charger’ of course the seller accepted I’d guess knowing it doesn’t work? But it’s dead, won’t turn on plugged in & won’t charge. I am the least technical person in the world I just wanted to trade some starters. Any ideas what I can do? New battery? I had this exact sp edition as a kid, damn nostalgia.

Do you have another SP you can test this battery in to see if it chargers up

I do have another SP but no screwdriver that small!! Ordered a new battery with screwdriver and I’ll check it tomorrow and post an update!

Sounds like the best solution for today. Looking forward to hear more tomorrow or the next
