I unplug a lamp from this receptacle and now I can't plug it back in.

I bought the same product. It has a very new feature: small white plastic safety child-proof barriers that move into the interiors of the slots when nothing is plugged in. These barriers move aside when you push a plug into the socket. Sometimes you have to push the plug a little harder than normal in order to get the two plastic barriers to move aside. Note that most modern plugs now have one blade that is wider than the other and sockets like this one have one slot that is likewise wider than the other. This is a safety feature. The wider blade is for the neutral side of the circuit and the narrower blade is for the hot side. Because of the different sizes of the blades the plug cannot be put into the socket incorrectly. I think that when you tried to plug the lamp back in you were unknowingly trying to put the wider blade into the narrower slot. Turn the plug one half turn (180 degrees) and it should fit properly into the socket. Push firmly to move the safeties aside.

I couldn't. I tried to hook mine up and there's a ton of cord that would draw the attn of anyone tryingto unplug your TV.

The plug is under the table, in the center. Definitely unplug when not in use because the air will continue to flow of its on.

I have not had that happen with my lamp. Please don't give up - return it for a new one. These are wonderful lamps.

Use this address and look under "Chang The Lamp's Capacitance". It looks like you may have a defective switch. http://www.ehow.com/how-does_4885267_touch-lamps-work.html

You unplug it and never plug it in again. One of the reviews on Amazon describes adding a capacitor in the receiver/controller, but that was more than I was willing to do so I bought a new light set. It is more expensive, but works great.

I has a two-prong plug. There is an on/off switch on the side of the lamp below where it attaches to the side of the tank/bowl.

I was going to check the back but it's screwed into the outlet. I'm sorry, I don't know.

Did you try to plug light in the other outlet? And did you reset the unit? Hope this works

I was replacing the exact same outlet, so I just unhooked everything and reconnected it exactly as it was before. There were instructions, but I would look for other sources for help if you are unsure. Youtube is a good place.

There is no outlet in the base. The power cord runs through the lamp and ends up coming through the base.

If you turn it on, unplug it and plug it again then you have to turn the light on again because it's still be off when you replug it

All I did was insert the lamp into the television. The television must be off. After inserting the lamp, turn on the tv and that should be all you need to do.

Make sure you have power at the outlet by plugging something else in the outlet (another lamp, hair dryer, etc.) or plug your lamp into another outlet that works. If the lamp doesn't work, then the troubleshooting becomes more difficult. The switch may have gone bad. There could be an open circuit in the wiring. If you know of someone that will help with the troubleshooting without charging you a fee, then that's fine. Otherwise it may not be worth the time and money to fix it. Good luck.

Nope, I've never had a problem with mine. Did you lose power by any chance? Maybe the surge blew. Try unplugging it and plugging it back into a different outlet.

Hi, I unplugged it. I do not think is good idea to keep it in the socket once is fully charged.
