just rec'd and found that I need to hold the power button down for almost a minute before the flash light turns on-is this usual?

I'm sure that is not usual. However, looking at previous answers they are all over the place. On my RavPower 6000mAh you simply hold the botton down for 4 seconds and the flashlight lights. If you just got the unit I would recommend returning it or calling RavPower customer service.

I have two. Press twice for on and twice for off on both. I would email the manufacturer, they stand behind their product!

No that should not be the case. i have seen few times it took longer than normal. it is typically 3 to 5 sec of hold on that button and it will turn on the flash light

We didn't have any problem with turning the flashlight on, but we can't seems to turn it off. On one occasion, we tried for over an hour before we were able to turn off the flashlight. If I can do it over again, I wouldn't buy this unit.

on mine it's just two quick clicks (two clicks to turn on, two clicks to turn off)

From what I recall the package stated hold it down for 5 seconds to turn on. If it's literally a minute and you're not over exaggerating then is not normal. Try double tapping it, thats how my turns on. Good luck.

You have to hold the power button down for a few seconds for it to boot. Try it at least twice. I remember once I held the button down but it didn't boot. I let go and tried it again. And it worked.

Did you flick down the switch under the button before attempting to light it?

I ran into a similar issue but fixed it by plugging it in and holding down the power button until it turned on. You might try holding it for 15 seconds or so.

What are you describing as a "Release" button? I just use the power button, myself.

If I remember correctly, hold the power button down until the light starts to flash. If your prompted for a code on the device, such as a phone, enter 0000

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

That is exactly correct, there is only one power button. If you wish to turn on/off the flash light, you will have to double click the power button. And if you wish to turn off the device, you have to hold the power button until the digital monitor screen goes off. I hope this info will help you.

The other step required on mine is to turn the flash on. (Batteries must be in the flash as we'll.) You have to set the flash to determine whether or not both internal and external power are to be used.

Yes, push power button for a sec. (As opposed to holding power button for several secs to shut off)

I get this same problem? Any solutions yet? It's even when I'm not using the flash at all. I get both busy and the green blining light.

No . I have read that by holding the power button on other models a flashing light would represent remaining power . This does not seem to be the case with this light . I charge the battery after 3-4.5 hours of use so I don't know how it reacts to a low battery .

It may be just very dim. I've noticed that the flashing LED is hardly illuminated in a lighted room. It's kind of ironic that the light is super bright but the charging LED Is very dim. Could be that you have a defective model if the power button doesn't light at all.

It sounds like it is going in pause mode. Try just holding power button until see green light then let go. The only time mine flashes is in pause mode. If it is flashing in pause mode just click the power button one time and the light should stay on steady. Hope this helps.

I had an issue where the power button needed to be pressed repeatedly in order to start it. This kind of an issue is being reported all over message boards. I did an exchange on mine to see if that would help.

Jerry;Other than pushing the light bulb button net to the power button, I see no user fixes. Sorry, these things can be vexing. Good luck.Al

The caps light will flash twice when you hold down the power button. That will indicate that it is off.
