The power button stopped turning my Sparc off. I hold the button in the red turns off as soon as I release the button it turns back on. I have to remove the battery or let it turn off on its own. Tried a new battery too.

Any Ideas?

That happened to one of mine, I replaced the battery and it works fine now..

If that doesn't work I would give the company a shout, I hear their customer service is top notch..

ETA: lol I just realized this is posted in the Vortex forum hopefully they will be able to tell you if there is anything else you can try..

Mine was doing the same thing. I have to leave the battery out until i go to the range.

The only time I've seen this happen is when the battery is getting low. Replacing with a new battery always seems to solve it, but it sounds like you've tried that already. If that doesn't work then the next thing I would do is call up customer service and they will take care of it for you. You can reach them at 1-800-426-0048. Hope this helps. Let me know if there is anything else I can help with.

Just wanted to chime in and say ive had a similar issue when the battery cap has worked slightly.loose. well.tightened cap is a must on the sparc in my experience.
