i’ve got a blank screen on my PO-12 – in the middle of recording with it of course – and new batteries aren’t fixing it.
when i put the set of new batts in the screen did flash on for about 1 second and then off again and now just blank.
anyone experience this / know of some “reset” or something that might fix this?
thanks!
Yes, mine does the same when I try to put level above 6.

Uh ok update: there’s a very lo-fi fix to this – bending the 4 connectors inwards so the battery connections are more solid! It doesn’t seem like a great long-term solution since eventually they will break off but it works for now!
Isn’t this a battery issue?
sometimes the battery connections get bent out of place. just bend them into place. they arent going to fail. they were just failing to make contact. good catch!
Mine are over bent towards the center so I dont have to worry about it anymore.
For your information, I tried my PO-12 with some new batteries, not rechargeable these one…
In my case it might be that one of the rechargeable batteries is broken. Last night it was over 90% before it gave the same symptom…
