The on/off seems to be inoperative. While I have the green led showing power, I get no indication the unit is on. When I toggle switch, no change.??

I had a similar problem with the first unit I bought, after several years of use. Ordered a new one thinking it could not be repaired. I live in Panama and there is no Motorola service shop down here, but a friend of mine recommended an electronic store and I took it there and they fixed it. The technician, and a very good one, as it turned out, said it was a problem with the on/off button not making proper contact or something like that, and fixed it quickly, easily, and cheap. Now I'm using the same old one and have the new for backup when the other finally dies on me... I recommend you send it to an electronic technician to take a look before getting rid of it... Good luck!

Ours did something similiar and we ended up having to buy a whole new unit. We did have the warranty from BRU but after calling them it was going to be an act of congress and take weeks for them to send us a new one. We couldn't wait weeks for a baby monitor we needed now so we went and bought another one. I don't recommend this product to anyone who hasn't already purchased it!

if you're talking about the monitor power light, it will stay solid until you push the on/off button ... you have to push and hold the button down until the motorola name comes across the monitor screen ... once you see that, release the button and the monitor will pop with a view of what the camera unit is pointed at ... if your monitor will not do that, i would return it to the supplier

Do you have input and output connected. If yes then it should come on. I've owned two of these and never had any issues. Unit may be diffective if it still doesn't work with both connections engaged. Let me know if that works for you. Peace

On my unit the green light went out after a while, while the unit was still in warranty. The unit otherwise appeared OK. I called Intermatic and after some discussion and email they sent me a new unit. Their thought was that the light burned out. I took the 'bad' one apart and it looked OK on the inside, so it likely was a bad bulb. The green light should always be on when the unit is powered.

The light is supposed to be Green always. If it is not lit. Your powersupply is not receiving power.

No lights come on, and the unit doesn't really get warm when it's operating, so there aren't any visible signs of power being on. Hasn't been a problem for me, though, as it has always worked really well so I personally don't need to see any visible sign of the device getting power.

I've noticed mine does not start up very well. Twist the bulb as if removing and then reinstall. It won't start immediately. Also, the indicator is not an LED like it looks, just a lens to the inside. Turn of the lights or shield ambient light, it might be on, you just can see it.

mine doesnt have an ''on-off'' switch,, check the batteries and make sure they are in the right position,,after that the 3 control knobs I played with them a little in the beggining,, but that was mostly to get the hotest water I could,, good luck

Same thing has happened to me with this light as well as several different lights over the years. It may be normal, anyway there is a black knob that you can turn not too far away from the power switch. Turn the light on and turn the knob until the light comes on.

sounds like you may have to send it back, but you can at least plug in another power supply, or test the units power supply on another 5 volt system, just to see what is broken. I have mine plugged into one of the USB ports on my TV, that way it powers off with the TV so I don't see a power light, it must be on the power supply it self. maybe moving it to another outlet might help to isolate the problem, just in case it was the outlet, saving you the trouble of sending it back. Good Luck!

Hello E. R.! My sincere regrets on hearing about the issue. A little more information about the actual state of the equipment would be very helpful in assisting. If there is not any backlighting apparent when turning on the unit, it could be a faulty contact under the "On" button or a blown fuse. Was anything spilled on the controller or have you ensured the quality of A/C coming from the wall? If you can, please provide more details on symptoms and what you have tried thus far in troubleshooting. Thanks, and best of luck! :)

Unfortunately, I think your unit, like mine is DOA. This unit charged all lights and then I took it off the charge and it did nothing. DEAD!

Did you push the reset button on the power plug? I think that has to be done. My LED lights came on when the unit started. However, since it is in my bedroom, I had to turn it off for sleep purposes. The LED lights are not on if the power is not on, I think.

The unit's on/off button lights up in Red when its on. No light when its off

I've consulted with an electronics technician. He says a part that controls the power to the LED is the problem, but it'll be tough to identify and replace (and cost more than the light itself). The LED on mine is actually still good (it lights up dimly, same as yours).

I don't know, the unit stopped operating. No light, no fan, circuit breaker is not popped so I am perplexed.

Well, you are lucky. Mine flicker on and off, or alternate on and off. I haven't found a solution on Google. Since the lights are fed through the same line yet behave independently, I assume it's not a line or power source issue. I'm guessing the LED light modules are simply defective. I'm going to disconnect them. Coming on and off is simply annoying! I didn't buy it for the lights, but it's annoying that they haven't addressed the problem or recalled it.

I had this problem once on one of the two units I own I repressed the green power button again with a little more pressure the projector light went off and it takes 2 miniutes for the unit to turn off for cool down with the fan if the unit projector light comes on after trying this sounds like a unit problem.
