What is wrong with the switch? It will not slide to the On,Off,Flash mode?

There is a cover over the switch. Gently pry it off and you will see the real switch.

I haven't had that issue. You can adjust the flash mode and that should solve the issue.

Mine changes when I turn it off & turn it back on. It will flash when I turn it on, then when I turn it off, then back on, it changes again, then it will do it over again. Try turning it off, ten back on & see what it does. If it keeps flashing all of the time, you must have a defective switch. But I'd try turning it off, then on. That supposedly changes the mode it is in.

Light is not on when switch moved past "light on" mid-switch position to furthermost shock mode switch position.

Mine is always flashing. I will check tonight and let you know if you can change it.

OK just bought these and had the same problem. The simple fix for me was the 3 position color switch on the side was set to the middle position - which equals off. Once I slide the switch to either blue or green, they both worked fine. Hope this helps.

I gave this as a gift to someone. All I remember is that you have to flash the mode button in a certain tricky way for it to work right. I had to play with it for several hours before I got the hang of it. By now, you probably already have the knack. Sorry I could not be of more use as I have no access to this item now.

I never used the switch. Mine works okay. You must have received a defective unit. Return or exchange it ASAP

if you turn it on and off several times it comes back on and flashes, you have to keep pushing the switch to make it stay on. But if you use it then leave it sit for a few hours it comes on and stays on constant

You may have a faulty mode. I had no problem setting this on nonflash but did fear your problem when I bought. Try selecting each mode slowly. If it doesn't stay it's the mode. Good luck.

Check and make sure you remove the rubber cover that the grip plugs into the camera. The switch needs to be turned on on the grip. Other then that I can't think of any other reason it would not work. I hope this help you.Gregory Bell

I too, have the open button that I slide and the flash comes on automatically. I changed my battery before I thoroughly tested mine but the problem with mine was the zoom would no longer retract. I finally just gave up and got a used one which I am totally happy with now. Like Ms. Jump stated though, Kodak has excellent customer service. Sorry, I wasn't much help on your issue.

Make sure the top is tightened all of the way. I thought my switch was broken until I twisted the top clockwise to tighten it.

HII bought 2 sets and have the same problem. There is a button on the back you can push to change the setting, but I think there are a million settings to go through. I seemed to push the correct number of times for one set and it is on without flashing so I know it works, but the other one I never go to work and I heva tried everything. Good luck.

I had the same issue. Turns out one of the switches was the kind that glow when the power is off so you can see it in the dark. These allow a small amount of energy through causing the lights to flash. Replace the switch with a normal on/off and you should be good to go.

After checking the batteries I checked the on/off switch. I slid it back and forth realized the light flickered so I used my fingernail to slide it with a little more force to the on position. Then left click the mouse and it should work. Now that is the routine.

Im sorry... No suggestions... That sadly is exactly what happened with me. I just threw it away after about a week of it not turning on showing any motion with the lights. Maybe flip the black switch on the bottom and it may work.
