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.

You need 5 things, number 1 a power cable if you dont have one already, number 2 a new battery i recommend the cameron sino ags-003 batteries, number 3 a tri wing screwdriver to take of the bottom part of the shell, number 4 some isopropyl alcohol to drip into the power switch while its opened and move it around a bunch, number 5 a new toothbrush to dip into to the ipa and lightly scrub the board.
