Has anyone had trouble turning the clipper on?

I didnt have any trouble with turning it on. But inside the clipper, the plastic part that directs the vibration of blade is too weak, and broke after about a year. Once that tiny part breakes, the clipper became useless. Right now I use philips norelco which has slightly poorer design in terms of flexibility compared to wahl, but just didnt buy the wahl again becuase of durability issue.

No but beware it is hard to start. I have two of them and both have the same problems.

That's never happened to me....yet. Did you try turning it off and waiting till the next hole to turn it on?

Hi I have had no problem. You have to keep the button pressed down while turning, Best Wishes.

That happened with mine also. For me, holding the power button down for a ridiculously long time worked and it powered on. 99% of the time, it turns on easily now. Only once since then has it failed to power up normally. Holding the power button for the prolonged time was successful again. Best of luck!

I had the same problem and used cord to turn it on and off. When I burnt it out traveling overseas I replaced it with same one anyway. It's a shame because it's a great straightener. Maybe company will help if you contact them. I never tried.

Not sure what problems you had but I have not experience any. Turn it on, it's on, turn it off, it's off.

I've never had any problem with mine. Keep the shave head clean and good batteries in it. It's fine. IF it actually broke - I'd just replace it.

I have had no problems with the light turning itself on. I bought 2 of them and it's great to be able to just tap the top to turn on the light. Maybe yours has a shortage in the wiring. If it's still within the return period, you might try to have it replaced with a new one.

I have had the same problem with the unit I bought from Costco. The off on button does not always respond. I have been able to get the unit to turn on by unplugging and replugging.

It does sound like you may have skipped a step. Follow the instructions carefully one step at a time and it will work. Remember that it takes two separate events to make a complete cycle, one event to turn it on and another to turn it off. It sounds like you completed the turn on event but not the turn off event.

I am having trouble as well, I've tried everything, including the paper clip and a thin blade tiny screwdriver. I cannot budge it. Anyone??? Heeeeeeeeeeeelp!!!!!A. OLOTT did you ever get yours off???

I know once they start pinching that the blades are dull. I don't think the clipper is the problem, but that cannot be said for sure without seeing your clippers.

I've had no issues with mine at all. Try replacing the batteries first then disconnect the clip where it connects together leave off for 30 sec. Then plug it in is what I'd do. Good luck

I find it pretty hard to turn it on intentionally, so I'm surprised you're having problems with it being turned on accidentally. But to prevent your problem, I'd take a utility knife to a cardboard box and cut a piece about 6" x 6", and wrap it around the light and secure it with a heavy rubber band. Of course the flutes of the corrugations must be parallel to the length of the light.
