Just purchased this item....went out to zero the system and the laser keeps going off after a bit. I was thinking maybe batteries etc...ideas?

I had the same problem at first, so I sent it back. Amazon sent me a replacement and I haven't had anymore problems, it's been working fine.

I also just purchased a UTG LED Green Laser Combo and the laser does not hold a good zero. So far I have been able to determine that the mount does not hold the laser firm enough to hold the zero. I do not want to over tighten the screws and strip them. No solution yet. I just think the mount should be made more sturdy. I also noted that the green dot grows larger, especially after 25 Yards.

Bought this item for my husband and he has had no problems out of his. I would try changing the batteries

I think the batteries are fine. I had to start with the base. I had to make sure that clamp/lever was secure and it was the 3 time. Then i had to rotate the laser until it was somewhat seated in the mount. So the final mounting place was a little off center of the windage adjustment like around a 1 o clock position but still accessible. Good luck

Mine was doing this also. I talked to a rep from the company, and we concluded that it was the ckkd temps outside that was causing this. After going back through the paperwork that came with this light/laser combo even states this. I don't know if its cold where you are, " below 40 degrees", but that's what was causing mine to go off.

Not sure, i use a pressure switch on mine so it's only on while the switch is pressed but otherwise im guessing it's designed to not stay on?

Check and replace the batteries. I had exactly the same problem. I Called the company, their customeer service is great. At there suggestion I found one of my batteries was "defective". Replaced it and all was fine. BE sure the unit is NOT mounted close to a heater vent as warm air from heater can cause unusual activity with the light.

I would send it back. I have had mine for some time and have had no issues with mine. Sounds like a bad light sensor. Good luck.

once you install batteries and screw on the laser tip it stays on until you unscrew the tip and remove batteries. Hope this helps.

Have you tried replacing the batteries? It's quite possible they're just dead. There are batteries in both the saucer and primary hull as I recall. I don't have it sitting right in front of me, so I'm going off memory. If that doesn't work, I don't know what to tell you.

I haven't taken mine to the range yet. I'm actually headed there today. I would suggest that you unmount it put it back on and try to re zero.

If you put a disk in the drive and the disk starts spinning, but nothing comes up on your screen then it is likely the laser is dead. There are a couple of other parts involves, but the laser lens will likely go first.

I had the same problem with my initial order of this item; therefore I requested an exchanged and once again the item was not functioning. I suppose to light up once the batteries are installed. Unfortunately, I finally requested a full refund. I think it's probably due to their shipping method (soft packaging via USPS) which can damage the interior components.

Same as other responses. Advertised as having one, but seller contacted me and let me know no laser prior to him shipping.

I have used mine at temp. as low as 28 F and as high as upper 90's. Great laser, just use new or full charged batteries, very important. If the battery starts getting weak, the laser gets iffy, mine came with a useless dead battery. Buy yourself a charger and rechargeable batteries. Also the pressure switch is iffy all the time.

Nope - at least not one that works. We were sold a laser and received a broken fake flashlight instead. Still like the gun.

You have given me valuable info .Might be a reason not to but another Dorcey if there are no light replacements .Not a good sign.I will try looking into this. seaBee

It needs batteries for the laser. If you just want to use the level adjustments then that requires no power

I actually have had this same situation with other laser printers, other brands....think it may just be a built-in reminder to have a replacement on hand. I simply continue to use the cartridge until it is fully empty but I do have my replacement on hand and ready. I may look at it differently but I don't see it as a complaint...am VERY pleased with the overall usage and the COST of usage.

Yes...all the time. There could be dust around the laser eye or it could be a glitch. Sometimes cleaning the top with a cloth will help, sometimes just placing it back on its base and allowing it to "reset" itself will help.

Yeah, sorry, I haven't had any issues. Like prior post said, try changing the batteries. If that doesn't work, I would take it back to the store (if you can) or call Einstein. Good luck!

I had the same problem... I contacted them and they replaced just the machine not the gun. They said if the gun doesn't work it's how you clean it. How did you clean your gun? I use mine for business all the time as i am a professional make up artist and so far after my husband cleaned it well it's working
