How do you turn the thing on? Maybe mine is dead; I've tried all the buttons, but the display never shows anything.

Did you remove the clear plastic tab that stops the battery from making proper contact?

If I remember right, you had to open the battery door thingy and there was a piece of plastic that you needed to pull out. I could be wrong though. Otherwise maybe try pressing the reset button? Just an idea.

There is no on or off...remove the plastic tab to establish contact with the battery, follow the instructions to set up. If it doesn't come on, then try a new battery. If it's dead still, then return to Amazon.

I tried just about everything and had the same problem, couldn't turn it on. changed batteries to make sure I wasn't missing anything and nothing! All I can suggest is, return it and get your money back! I would had done that but my was out of the country!

Mine turned on right away. Try to give it 2 hours of charging. Otherwise you've got a defected one.

What do you mean? The screen? Is this the first time you install it? If so, turn it on and after it is on, push the on/off button for one second and it will come out... then it will come in and out everytime you turn it off and on

Mine had a dead looking screen sometimes, and I press the reset key. All was well. It came back to life and still had its current count.

You need to press and hold for a few seconds the 1st buton on the left side to turn it on (same thing to turn it off). If it doesn't work then it might be dead. You should be able to get a quick refund

There's a switch on the bottom that you turn on. If it doesn't work, it's probably defective just like mine was. Mine never worked. I tried putting in brand new batteries so many times and it never worked. Super disappointing. Send it back for a refund.

I'd just back up in the "Menu Tree" and try again. If that didn't work I'd Power cycle the unit to reboot it and start over. Good luck.

well it`s probably broken. when I turn on mine, there`s a count down form 9 to zero being displayed on the screen, and then it`s ready to work. if you ruled out the batteries... I`m afraid it coud very much be DOA.... try to contact the seller on their website and ask for assistance.... good luck. stef.

Interesting, actually mine did not turn on either, however, I just assumed mine was to replace the battery. Which I have not done yet. I have had mine for 6 months or so. Did you change the battery?

Is it plugged in when you boot it up? I believe you can also reset it by hitting the power button and volume + at the same time and hold for at least 10 seconds. If that does not work... send it back.

Try plug it to an USB port, maybe the battery is dry. You can also try Fasboot mode, Volume down+power button for about 10 seconds.

You can try turning it off and then back on. If that doesn't work try holding the on/off button down for about 10 seconds to reboot. If no success I would return it.

Nothing useful to add unfortunately. I have just bought mine, charged up the battery, and now it keeps turning itself on and off. I was going to try leaving out the battery, but will also try a firmware download, as suggested. Thanks.

I also charged mine for 24 hours, actually longer cause I charged it in the guest bathroom. Anyway, I pressed the button and while holding it you slide it up and it turns on. Maybe charge it longer and if that doesn't work it might be a defected one. Hope you can figure it out, otherwise you'll have to send it back and wait to get another one. I love mine, so it would be worth the wait if you had to return it.
