Happened to me too, after 2 years. I opened up the unit and as kaiser4 found out - a flimsy switch. and no way to just buy a screen!!

This is also happening to me and I was trying to find a parent unit replacement when I found your post. I'm also out of warranty at 2.5 years, so I know Motorola won't assist. I was hoping to find the parent unit sold alone, but I guess it had to come linked to a camera, then, can I link my older cameras to that system?

No, I traded the samsung for this one and love it. I lost the microphone on the samsung. Thankfully amazon returned everything with a full refund.

Yep, just happened to me. I called the Motorola CSR who was anything but helpful. Told me to take out the battery for 10 minutes to reset it (you mean like I had already done 10 or 12 times?!). Useless. Didn't help that it was 1.5 yrs old, just out of warranty. So I took apart the monitor myself. Turns out there's a poorly designed flimsy switch that's soldered to the motherboard. If you press too hard it will cause the delicate soldered parts to fail, not right away, but I found that I had to keep pressing harder and harder over time to get it to work. Then one day it just would not power on anymore. Now, I'm trying to find an electronic store to solder it back on cuz I'm sure that's going to be cheaper than a new monitor! Thanks alot, no-help Motorola!

Like kaiser4, at a year and a half we are pressing harder and harder to have to turn the button on and off. Motorola was no help. The extended warranty through a big box store, purchased by my mother in law when she got this as a gift for us, also was no help. Our power cord is also cracking, Motorola told me they do not sell a replacement.

Glad you got it fixed, but that didn't work for me. Pushing down hard (and holding down) the power button turns it off momentarily so perhaps the defect is in that area and you were able to fix yours by applying pressure while turning on/off the wireless. Would be interested to know if it works for anyone else. I've just gotten used to it being on at this point.

Did you hit the display button and turn it off ? (the bottom of the selector ring) Use same button to turn it back on.

I've had the monitor for about a year. I haven't had any problems with it. You might check your computer's energy saver settings to see when your monitor is set to go to sleep.

have you tried resetting it? This happened to me and I pushed the reset button and it started working again. I cannot remember for sure where the reset button is exactly but I know it is in the instructions.

There is no on/off button. When plugged in, it's on. Obviously when unplugged, it's off. I hope that helps!

Sorry to hear you are having this issue. So the display is not working at all? No blue light? If so, there is definitely something wrong. I will send you a message to discuss replacement.

did you ever get your steamer to work. I have to keep hitting the reset button. It only last a couple of minutes and the steam quits again. Someone said I may need a new thermostat. Just wondering if you found a fix or tossed it!

I would check the back of the monitor too, making sure that nothing got changed there. I've had mine for over 2 1/2 years and it still works perfectly! I love it!!! If you check the back and everything is as it should be, definately contact the manufacturer and get it replaced!

There is a button to turn the display on and off... If you can actually get a display that works properly.

Well there is no ON or OFF button so the monitor goes into a sleep mode when there is no video feed. It still may consume power while in sleep mode but not much. Another way to turn it off is to isolate it from the power source. I hope this helped.

Yes and No. I first noticed the screen going off all the time. So I went to system settings and clicked on "Display" and then "Sleep" and up'ed the time to 5 minutes. No problem then except it dimmed down occasionally and just a tap got it back....Jamie Jansen

I tried the email, website and phone number on.the back of my monitor. Phone number its disconnected, website is gone, and never got an email response...We might be SOL :(

I am guessing you have a defective one. Mine works perfect; on/off and nothing more.

The on/off will not turn the display off on mine either, maybe by design, not sure. However it does turn itself off in a couple of minutes of no use.
