No matter how firmly I press down on the 'on' switch or for how long I press down on it it still won'tstay lit. It's acts as if it has a short in it?

It might have a defect if it won't come on even if you push straight down firmly on the switch. You do need to push on the center of the switch firmly for it to come on.

I've never had that problem with my makeup mirror and I've had it almost a year. Your mirror is defective. You need to return it and let them send you another one.

sounds like you have a defective product. Mine turns on easily. I have had no problems with mine.

This was a pc of crap. I returned this makeup mirror b/c one side of the light was broken and the swivel mirror would not stay in place. Look for another brand.

It lites up once u press the button like a flash light, if it doesn't do that then you might want to check the battery/ it's broken :)

Im sorry... No suggestions... That sadly is exactly what happened with me. I just threw it away after about a week of it not turning on showing any motion with the lights. Maybe flip the black switch on the bottom and it may work.

There is a small black bar on the bottom of the red side that is the on switch. Have you pressed this after it is charged?

Check all the cables. Make sure the switches are hooked up properly. It's easy to knock 1 or 2 loose without seeing it. If all is hooked up properly and power applied to the PSU it's possible there is a short / ground.

I thought mine was broke also. I tapped it in my hand and squeezed it while it was open. I'm thinking its something in the on/off switch. Once its on, it stays on though.

Mine only works on the lowest brightness unless i hit it against something hard.

Leave it alone until it fully discharges. Then leave it for a couple of days more. Then plug it in and let it fully recharge. If the light comes on again, it is probably a faulty switch.

I had the same problem with one switch I installed. I took it back out and found the ground was not tight. Once correct, it has been working fine. I am dimming LED's and they are smooth and flicker-free. My advice would to be certain the switch is grounded correctly. Hope that fixes it for you.

Try to do a manual reset and see if that works first. When you do a manual reset ( see instructions) you can then start over again. This timer/switch isn't at all hard to set. I set mine when I first got it and plugged it in and its been running almost a month now without fail. Hope this helps out.

Mine lit up when took it out of box, I didn't notice , sometimes I have to push the button on again. I don't know.

Make sure it's plugged in and has full power (try another plug maybe?). I tried once pushing it down before it was plugged in and it wouldn't stay down. If you're sure it has power then it's defective.

Be sure to push the on/off button all the way down. Sometimes I only push it half way down and then it doesn't work. I freaked out the first time this happened and then realized what I was doing. I hope this helps.

Check your connection and battery. Also check that the switch is in the correct position.

The light stays on solid when the switch is depressed... BUT, the switch doesn't stay depressed by itself. You must keep constant pressure on it.
