Anyone ever had to reset one? I have to due to another flaw, not mentioned in the reviews. I'm scared witless.

I have done it once. First try unplugging it and disconnecting it for 10-20 seconds. This might help you not have to reset it.

First off, be sure that the batteries are in properly!! I had to replace the batteries in mine and it's very easy to put them in the wrong way so be sure to check polarity. And, when I replaced the batteries, I had the same issue - it wouldn't fire back up so I removed the batteries, reinserted them and it started fine. There's no reset button that I'm aware of....

I had same problem seems like one was defective. no response about getting it replaced either.

^ Hey, thanks so much for the info, I will try it first thing tomorrow when my friend returns it to me. So I take it that when it acts up, it needs to be reset? I sure hope that'll fix it.

This happened to me also. Just press the timer/clock button on the lower left and it should reset properly.

I agree. Send it back. Mine has been perfect. Changed the battery once and it works great.

No, no problems with the two I own. I love them. Perhaps you received a defective one...sorry this has happened to you.

I believe I have had that situation in the form of unplugging the device for a minute while on. As I remember, it did not reset to "off." Sorry I can't be more specific. If I remember, I'll try it at home tonight.

Return it, get another. Mine is reliable and haven't had a single issue since the frat day I purchased it. Maybe you got a lemon.

Picked one up today and it does the same thing. They should at least mention it in the manual. I wasn't sure if it was normal. Apparently it is. Thanks for bringing this up and thanks for your follow up.

This happened a couple of times to us. Pushed the reset button and it always starts back up. I thought it had something to do with our outlet...but maybe not. But the reset button always starts it right back up.

Haven't had this problem myself. Try taking the batteries out for a few mins then reinsert and see if that will reset the unit.

Mine was fine. I had no problems with it. Maybe you got one that had a defect.

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!

Cool... I struggled with this for a week. Could not find any reset button or hard reset. Turning the switch off for 15 seconds by holding my thump on the lower right corner of the screen. It asked with a message 'Do you want to erase user setup?' I pressed No and then it started working...What is this placing finger on the right bottom corner does, no idea. but it works! Thanks a million.

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.

Contact the company for a replacement, sounds like a defect. I never had that issue with mine.
