Could someone help me decode this light sequence.

Hello guys,

I'm tried looking up all the light sequences and I couldn't find anything about this one.

Also it doesn't turn on anymore and I can't get this light sequence or anything to turn on without a cable plugged in.

Thanks for the help.

Do the battery lights illuminate when pressing the battery button while the battery is not in the Spark? If not, you should try a different battery.

Have you tried a different charging cable? I vaguely remember something like this happening to me a few years back and I believe a different cable corrected it. I rarely charge my batteries like this anymore because I use a multi battery charger new.

This sequence is exactly same as mine. It indicates power failure(PF). You could revive this by using a CP2112 board, the board itself probably cost around USD5 only. You can refer to the youtube video. I recently revived my spark through this method. I would say it needs some DIY skills(including some soldering skills to setup the board) but it's not too difficult in my opinion.

Power failure happens when you have not charged the batteries for long time(>3 months) and the battery circuit will 'lock' the battery for safety purposes
