I can not turn the thing on... how long do I have to press to turn it back on?

Your battery must be dead--it should come right on instantly; if not the battery then must be defective.

I have 2 of these, and they both turn on "instantly" when the pwr (POWER) button is pressed.To turn OFF you have to hold the power button in for approx. 5 seconds.If it will not turn on, then it is either defective, or the battery is dead.Hope this info helps.

You have to remove the battery and plastic so it can get contact with the battery.

Theoretically you just press the on button again. But the one I got was a piece of junk so I returned it.

I had to actually hold it down pretty hard to get it to come on and hold it for a few seconds. Works great, just hard to turn on. Same with turning it off...just push hard with foot. Sometimes it takes twice.

I will double check but I believe in the manual, there is a manual turn on mode. Let me check tonight.

You have to hold the power button down for at least 6 or 7 seconds (who would know???). You might have to do it two or three times. Anyway, it eventually works.John

hello, you must push and hold "turn on" and "volume up" (back side of the tablet) buttons, for 10-15 seconds both together

Hold the OFF button until it shuts off. Wait 30 seconds and start it up again

I'm going to try this...letting it die so it will turn off, if it's not off already, then charging it up, and see if I can get it on. If I can't, I'm just going to send it back and either get another one, or I'm going to have the money refunded so I can get something different.

I wasn't able to find any button so I think you twist it to turn it on. But mine didn't work so I don't know for sure.

It does not appear to turn on when power is applied ... which is why I will be returning it. It requires pressing and holding the power button for ~3 seconds.

Press and hold the power button for at least 3 seconds. That usually works.

There are 3 buttons on the side. The middle button acts as the play\pause button. It is also the power button. Hold it for about 5 - 8 seconds and it will either turn on or off.

Press the power button on and off. That usually reset it for me. Or just unplug for ten seconds the plug back in and press the power button

Press the SRC button to turn it on. If it does not work, it might be bad wiring or problem on the product itself. There is not many reasons that might cause it to go bad

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 just tried pulling the plug, then plugging it back in. Obviously it turned off when the power was cut, but it won't come back on until the power button on the light itself is pressed.

You have to press the button in order to engage it. Mine stopped working all together after 6 months. That little black button to turn the light on it will fall out so be careful with it.
