I have this installed &amp; has been working great. We had a power outage and now it just blinks. Does anyone know how to fix?

I would assume you have to reconnect it to a computer on your network and reset your settings?

Idk but mine also blinks every 5-7 seconds as well. Everything works perfectly well otherwise. It's probably supposed to do that.

Have you checked the outlet it's plugged into to see if it's hot? If you experienced a power surge when the outage occurred it may have fried the power supply. (We had this happen to several devices plugged into a surge suppressor when we had a lightning strike.) If you've only had this monitor for a short time (less than the 1 yr warranty coverage) you might contact Dell for guidance. Other than that, I can only suggest you have a tech look at it to determine cause and possible repair.

You might want to check the relay for proper connection. I had the same problem at first and that's what it was for me

Mine does the same thing; blinks and won't shut off, for more than an hour! It was stored in my truck outside (30F). When I warmed it up it finally stopped blinking and I could then, and only then, shut it off. When restarted, it functions ok. Indoors! It was dandy for the short time it worked properly.

Mine does the same exact thing. It was working for 2 months...now it controls the tv, but just blinks when trying to use the PS3.

It would help me if I knew that your unit had once worked correctly, but without this info I would suggest to First, make sure the unit is in sync with the ceiling fan (to do this, if able, turn light off then turn light on, press square button in center of fan control and hold button down until light flashes on and off twice then attempt to turn light on/off as normal). Should this not work or wall unit completely not functioning , problem could be in one of two places; (1) receiver unit in the fan itself could need to be replaced or (2) wall unit could need to be replaced. I ended up replacing both of mine since I first replaced the receiver unit and when that failed to fix the problem I replaced the wall unit, which did fix the problem. I hope this will help you. Another option is to purchase a hand held remote, sync it with the light as previously instructed, and if this works you will know the problem is in your wall unit and not in your receiver.

That is odd. Did you let it sit for a while? I remember blinking lights for sometime before the constant green light came on.I'd contact Amazon or the manufacturer to see if you can exchange it. Personally, I love mine and even gave one to my best friend for her birthday.

Don't know if this will help but before you installed did you lay it in full sun for the day so it was sure to get a full charge? I am assuming you installed in a sunny location. If "yes" to these it sounds like it is defective. Return or exchange it. My mom's has been up for over two years in a partially sunny location is is still working. Good luck.

I've installed several of these with mixed results...Most have failed completely, and I've tried to return two each that have never been opened without any results...There are better products available for less money...!!!Try Amazon #B004X4O1NG - EVER RF Dimmer of LED Strips, LED Ribbon, LED Lights, Wireless ControlThese are the best buy and I've experienced no failures and in power outages they return to whatever state they were in prior top the outage.Good luck

My light (green) stay's on when charging. It goes off when complete. Mine only blinks when the battery is low. It sounds as if your battery might be faulty. I never use tech support on anything. They usually know less about their products than we do!

I would send it back. I have had mine for some time and have had no issues with mine. Sounds like a bad light sensor. Good luck.

That's why I replaced mine. Lightning damaged the unit, and according to the manual if resetting it doesn't fix the problem, then the next step was to replace the logic board. Mine blink 5 times as well. Once I replaced it with a new board it worked (all wireless remotes will need to be reprogrammed to work with the new board, follow the manual on how to do that.) I can't say for sure if it will fix yours, best of luck.

I hope this is the issue I'm having. I've already had the technician out last week to replace the main board for this problem. The remote seemed to have worked for 5 minutes, like you said, and literally as he was leaving my driveway I tried to change the source and the remote didn't work again! I was so frustrated, and thanks to you I will be geared up with this information so perhaps he can fix it this time!

Hi.. The blinking dots will eventually become permanent. After plugging in the new unit, it took care of all the dots and was clearer than ever. It's a great fix.

I am not sure how long they work maybe there was a surge in power. That caused it to not work so well anymore. might be helpful to put it on a surge the next time you get one.
