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.

Mine got wet and died. This unit was so difficult to set up too. Sure wasn't worth the money. In your case, I would try to get a refund.

Not sure how long you've had it or how old it is but have you tried changing the battery? There's a small battery door with a lil screw on the back and looks like it takes a button/watch size battery. I would give that a try.

I would send it back bacause mine is green all the time unless my battery is plugged in. When it's dead and I plug it in it turns red until fully charged and then it will be green again. If the battery is not charging you could either have a dead battery and will need a new one of those or you have a bad port and you should send that in and have it replaced.

Mine is worst, totally dead.... Not charging at all, not even working even when you plug in. ....

I'd send it back. I've never had any trouble with the one I bought. Worked perfectly then and still does now.

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.

I got one for my son in law for Christmas won't even turn on!! grrrrr How about that! I am having second thoughts on this one. Anyone else have this problem? And yes, I put batteries in it and I did try to hard start it etc etc..:(

I'm sorry to hear that. Mine seems to be working fine. I've used mine for more than 6 minutes. Make sure it is fully charged before using it.

Toss it. It is not worth what it costs to send it back. Mine would work for a few minutes then stop, and I had to turn it off and on again every few minutes. Worthless.

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.

The red light won't stay on. I've plugged it both in the wall and on my computer and I have no indication that the charge is holding. Is this happening to anyone else or should I return it? I only got it today.

mis read your question and just whined about how much I hate mine...Hold the power button down for about a minute until it starts a hard reboot. If this doesn't work just leave it til the battery runs out. Then do the hard reboot. Make sure your running a memory cleaning program as this thing binds up if to many programs running it can only handle a few.

I would take the battery out...let it sit. Then after 5 minutes put back in and see if it works OK...

I would suggest buying a Battery. Not being funny, but you have very little invested and the Battery being Dead; it stands to reason you should just replace it. The Remote probably works fine, or send it back.

Do not leave it plugged in! I did and my battery is now dead. It turns out to be VERY expensive to change the battery b/c you must send it back to the manufacturer to do so. There are some good tips here on preserving the battery life that I really wish I had known beforehand. I'm currently trying to decide if it is worthwhile to replace the battery or not.http://1866uselady.com/show.php/en/online_store_2

I had the EXACT SAME experience and before i figured it out I thought it had died on me. I started the whole Amazon return process and then realized, like you said, that it needs to "charge" for a bit after plugged in. I have to say that it's kind of annoying but I love the light so much that i"m willing to look past that> Maybe it's a hint to me that I need to get my son a power strip so that he doesn't have to keep unplugging things to charge items. =) Hope this helps. ~ Nikki

I would call the manufacturer. It sounds like something is wrong with the unit. Mine worked immediately with no issues, and I did NOT charge it before use....just plugged it right in and it worked. Sorry!!

Dead battery? Get a jump! haha Seriously now.Are you sure its the battery? Does it work when its plugged in? As soon as you unplug,does it stop working? If that's the case,I'd take it in to a computer shop to get looked at.Is it still under warranty,& if that's the case,send it in.I haven't looked at my own manual,but can you change the battery yourself? I'd see if I could do it first myself,instead of paying omeone for something you might be able to do yourself.
