Hello, I recently replaced the back up battery in two SPM's. I did not have
the issues you describe. When the batteries were dead, the mixers worked
fine except for not being able to store programs. I suspect that your
problem may have to do with the power supply or the on / off switch.
Off the subject though, does anyone on this list own an SDX? I am interested
in trading sounds.
