Like the product overall. Did charge it all night. pushed trigger and the little starting light in front came on but then never again, is there a trick to it? the user guide does not even mention the light ( i am not talking about the indicator LEDs on...

Make sure that the toggle between tightening and loosening is pushed all the way to one side or the other. If its in the middle it will not do anything.

We just had a similar incident with one of ours. we just let it run itself down till there was NO battery life left. I almost threw it out because I thought it was broken! I decided to charge it one more time to see if I could get it to work and it had reset itself and came on and worked properly. just let it go till it is dead dead dead and then try recharging it and see if that works

All i did was make sure the light was on with all pixels lighting and plugged into a wall outlet. The light went out and began to chage. Once I pulled the light from the outlet it automatically goes on - which I think replicates its use in a power failure. Hope this helps...

That would be my guess (but i'm no expert). did you put in a new battery or is this the old one? i didn't have any lighting issues, but my battery was new. it did take 24 hours for my security alarm (where i put the new battery) to reset itself, but your issue could be completely different. sorry i can't be more help.

If the light is on and it's not heating... it sounds like the kill switch was triggered. If you bought it recently through Amazon, you still might be able to return it and get a refund. The warranty policy seemed like a raw deal, but you could also go that route and hope to have it back before the end of winter...

Hi there,Did you tap it gently five times? That usually does it for me. If it still doesn't light up when you do that, it could be the battery, I'd try changing that next. (Be careful to get the clip well inside its little groove before you replace the top), if that doesn't work, I think I'd call customer service. I'd probably call them anyhow, and ask them to send you an additional battery. You should have received two working batteries with a new item.

Thanks, I did call. But because I am charging Duracell I got no help. They will only help if I was using Rayovac batteries. I was told the dim light after is normal. So I'll just keep an eye on it when charging.

I've noticed mine does not start up very well. Twist the bulb as if removing and then reinstall. It won't start immediately. Also, the indicator is not an LED like it looks, just a lens to the inside. Turn of the lights or shield ambient light, it might be on, you just can see it.

Turn the bezel around the bulb. This may take a try or two until you get the feel for it. If that doesn't work, there's a battery or bulb problem. I love the flashlight!

Pinhole clicks on or off...insert pin until you hear a click or light turns on if it's charged...what they said could be defective as they are cheaply made IMO

I have the same problem. The light in front is on and the power button is pushed one way and it still dose not work. I have the same problem and mine has been on charge for several day's and it still does not work, and the button is in the right place.

Just to check, you plugged it in and clicked the switch? The light comes on but the ball doesn't rotate? Seems like a defect... mine starts right away.

My girlfriends did the same thing, and what I did was drain the battery down using the led light. Once it was almost dead I charged it for 2 days, and now it seems to be working fine.

It does work when it's plugged in, just kind of annoying and it recommends not to. But I have before haha. There is no battery indicator light either which is kind of odd, so you kind of just hope it lasts or that it's charging. Haven't had any problems about it not charging but its still strange.

Unfortunately the same thing happened to mine. I could get it to come on from time to time if I let it reset itself but it always would cut itself back off and get the same flashing light. Do some google research on the issue and there are a few things out there that people said to try but nothing worked for me. hate to be the bearer of bad news but it may be time to get a new one if you are out of warranty. I couldn't find any repair solutions that were cheaper than buying a new unit.

Can't find a way to check the charge level manually. Saw a 5 bar meter during startup once at 2 bars but it rolls through it automatically. What I go by is the unit will not brighten the screen when the level is low and it gives a warning message to that effect. You can change out the batteries without losing data on the round. I am not using rechargeable batteries at this time so I just carry a couple spares and change when needed. I seem to be getting at least 10 hours on a pair or 2 rounds.

Try to charge it again. The red charging light should lit. Goes off when charge completed. If the red light stay on for days that means the battery is not charging. Remember the LED lights only turn on in "DARK" when unplug from outlet or no electricity. The unit is designed for emergency usage (no electricity , total darkness). LED lights won't turn on under daylight or normal room light. Call them for replacement if you think it is defective. I have half dozen of these for three years. And they still working in good order. I hope they will last for couple more years.
