On other brands, the power button was placed in such a way that it would turn on and drain the battery when not in use. Is this a problem?

I do not think this can be turned on accidentally. In my opinion, it would be very hard to do. The on button is in the top of the light and it has to be pushed with certain pressure that you would have to make an effort.

I don't think this would be a problem with this headlamp. It has never happened to me.

Yes. The power button is located just to the left of and above the two circular vents on the right. When powered, it lights up with the same green color depicted. It is diamond shaped.

I've had no problem with the one l purchased, I do find I sometimes have to push the power button more than once.

The power button is slightly recessed below the level of the back / bottom cap. Something would need to actually poke past the surrounding cap to turn it on.

Just used mine for the first time and was about to ask the same question. I find it awkward to keep pressure on the so-called One-Touch Power Button while operating. May be a safety feature but I wouldn't have purchased if I knew that was how it operated. Plan to try it a few more times to see if I get used to it. If not, I will return.

No, I haven't had this problem. I have had this computer for about a year and frequently use it on battery.

No, that is not normal. Send it back; once I hit the enter/ power botton, I can toggle to power off and it shuts off . Hope that information helps.

I have the exact same phone and a while back my phone's power button stopped working and it would turn itself off randomly. So after doing some research (what I am about to describe will in fact void your warranty), I opened up my phone, manually removed the power button so it would not turn itself off randomly. Now I utilize this product as an "On" button for my phone and it works like a charm.

It is intentionally designed (for safety purposes) only to work when there is finger pressure on the power button. When you release pressure, it stops.

My guess is that it's a bad bit of hardware (battery that isn't holding a charge) or the power button is malfunctioning. You have to hold down the "play" button for a long time to get it to turn on and I think that must put a lot of pressure on the button. I'd contact the manufacturer and tell them what the problem is and ask for a replacement unit.

Haven't had that issue. I suppose it's possible, but unlikely, since the power button has to be depressed for a period of time. The power button is relatively well protected.

The power button LED should be illuminated a constant green when the unit has normal power and is charging. It should last at least 8 minutes under half load (lasts a lot longer for me because I don't have it nearly at half load). If yours beeps rapidly (every 1/2 second) right when the power goes then your battery is probably bad and you need to get a replacement from the manufacturer. You can test this by just pulling the power cord out of the wall while it's under load (make sure the equipment plugged in isn't critical).

I just received mine today. Ordered on 11/3. I have the power button issue. Guess I'll contact the seller and see about getting a replacement or I'll get another brand. Too bad though because it's an awesome case other than this button problem.

You can also keep the "Power" button pressed and it will change the setting. That should keep it from wearing it out. (hopefully)

After experimenting I have to hold the power button about 5 seconds, release and re-hold for a few more seconds. It makes no logical sense, but this works for me. Tried holding for 20 seconds with no affect, but releasing it in the middle works for me.

Yeah, mine will get stuck and become unresponsive at the unlock screen and you have to hold the power button to force a power down. Sometimes it won't start up again if the battery has completely drained *even after it is recharged*. When this happens, I have to connect the power cord, hold the power button, wait a few seconds, then it will boot and I can disconnect the cord and see 100% battery. This actually happened right out of the box after charging for 6 hours too. For the most part it is pretty slick though. I can't if there's an easy way to close "background apps" or not though.

I purchased mine on the 20th and received it yesterday. I have no problems at all with the power button.
