I would say have them send you another one first and return the old one. It may just be a defective item that you received. It happens from time to time. I wouldn't waste my money on a new battery if it came that way.

Check to see if the batteries are lose. If it still does not work.......i suggest buying a new one.

If there are new batteries in the monkey and it still doesnt work than something must be wrong with it. I gave purchased 2 of these and have never had that problem.

Yes, I did change the battery in mine because it wasn't working. I have two lights and one quit working. I bought replacement batteries and changed them with no problem, but the one still didn't work. Unless you know it it the battery for sure, I would not waist your money on new batteries if it just doesn't work.

This happened to me too. I noticed that the batteries were really loose. I just took a screwdriver and pushed the little metal part of the battery contacts out more so the batteries would be in there tighter, put brand new batteries in it, and it worked. I haven't had any problems since. I'm not sure that's the same problem you're having but this worked for me.

Read the instructions and make sure everything is being hooked up properly. If that is not working I would try a new battery or send it and exchange it. I have had zero problems with mine so far. I hope this helps.

We purchased this item but have had difficulty using it. I put batteries in it and it did not work. In fairness I have not spent a lot of time tryimng to figure out what is wrong. But than should I have to spend time trying to "fix" it?

Nope, got two of them and they both work fine and last longer than the original. Send it back, you probably just got a bad one.

Are you inserting the batteries correctly? If not contact Amazon to arrange to send it back for replacement. Mine works fine.

Sorry to question your capabilities ... have you ensured that the batteries are all in the slots, in the right direction? My original batteries were dead, as sent by the manufacturer. But the new ones tested fully charged, and I was careful to place them in the slots as indicated by the arrows.Give that a shot and see.

Hello there - Are both batteries new? Even one battery that is not fresh can prevent this item from functioning properly. Did you try to hold the "on" button to on for 10 seconds, as sometimes first time use will take longer to turn on? Please contact the seller directly for further assistance. Kind regards -Vert Delivery

It must be broken - if you put new batteries in, should work. Contact seller.

I had the same problem. New batteries did not make any difference. I sent it back to amazon and got my money back. Don't know why they keep selling these, I posted the problems I had with it months ago. I guess Amazon doesn't care. If someone sends it back they refund the money, but many don't send them back and amazon is ahead. George Jensen

I have two of the batteries and have had no problems. I suspect your battery is defective and should be returned for a replacement.

New batteries did not help? Mine have been working fine. You can take it to any recycle bin in your area or put it in your own recycling bins for pick up. If you haven't had it long and new batteries don't work, I would contact the company who makes them.

I would suggest that you contact Melnor, the maker of this item. I have NO idea what might be wrong, as long as you've put in new batteries, in the correct direction.
