Sounds like it's broken. I had one that didn't light up and it was broken. You don't need to press anything to make it light up. It should just do it! I pressed all the buttons on my first one and, still, nothing happened. It was broken. The second one I had (the part that you plug into the lighter) lit up and then the little square on the cord also showed radio stations.~hope this helps and good luck!

It's supposed to light up. Check to make sure it's getting power from the cigarette lighter socket, before you decide to return it.

Do you have 2 cig lighters in car you can hook this in to? Try the other one. Did you turn the car on when you plugged it in? Radio is on? If so it must be defective. It should light right up. There is no button that needs to be pressed.

I think I may have a similar issue. I connected my TV, and I have no picture, no sound, or anything at all. The right light on the button right comes on and off when I hit the power button, but that's it. Can't get the menu or anything to work.

I had the same problem and replacing the antenna corrected the streaming. I was able to change volume and programs and the blue LED would light up but no streaming. I heard a pop when I was pulling the loop over my head. Checked and there was no continuity (internal break) in the antenna. New antenna fixed my streaming problem.

Make sure the arrows on power adapter connector and the light strip are lined up. Also hit some other buttons on the remote. Could be a damaged sensor.

hmmm. I guess I would start with making sure the channels are matching the sliders. Are those the only lights you have connected to your controller or do you have others?

You need to start over again, change the hookup. Mine has been playing now for almost two years. I think that you have everything hooked up wrong. Try this: First, you need an antenna. I use a Philips antenna. Plug the antenna into ("antenna in"), on the box. Now your cable or coaxial cord goes into the back of your TV and plug that into ("TV Out"), on the cable box. Now you need to go to menu and set up your TV...I think that the instructions should come in the box that your cable box came in.. I hope this works for you. Let us know if this works for you....If all else fails, you may need another box, they should exchange it for you, just follow instructions that I sent you...

Eileen-Marie,I just checked ( I never noticed before - go figure) it does not light up. I guess I'm just always in the dark so it doesn't matter...

Mine is working with both channels and I only use it on my dock. Try pressing it all the way down and if that doesn't fix it maybe you got a faulty unit.

5 secs the tubes light up. I suggest You'd better to check the power jack-plug. Is it tight enough. SK Liu

Mine did not work at all, not sure if it is my TV or the wire, but I am pretty sure it is the wire.

For some reason I'm not sure if I'm not setting it up right or if the cable is the problem but it flashes like it's working but it doesn't control either my Comcast cable box or my Vizio 42 inch smart TV.

As others have said, if you do not have something plugged into the "IN" jack, it isn't energized and will not illuminate that light. If you do have something plugged into the "IN" jack, it may be defective.

If you're looking at the system there is a flat area that runs along the back top portion of the system ... It appears like a smooth black space that runs from one side to the other ... After turning it on touch the right side near the edge with your finger and it should light up... Keep hitting it until you find the "channel" you are looking for.. I thought one day my xbox wouldn't play through if and It was because I didn't toggle to HDMI from AV... If that's too weird and confusing let me know

Did you make sure to change your input settings to TV? Then you need to go to your menu on your TV and run a channel scan to see if you are receiving any broadcast signals.

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.

Sounds like a real tech support question. When you turn it on you should see the logo appear. If it appears then that is a good sign that your TV is working. Try different combinations of input. Cable, HDMI, etc. See if you can get any one of them to work. And don't forget to choose the correct input on your TV.

Not to start off sounding like a smart a** but make sure it's plugged in to a working outlet. Second push the button on top once. If you can't tell if it's working turn the lights off. You should see a faint bluish glow in the dark.
