Help! The flashlight came on randomly and won't go off. Any suggestions on how to turn it off?

Mine did that once, but I just held the button down for a few seconds and it turned itself off. Hope that helps.

Leave it alone until it fully discharges. Then leave it for a couple of days more. Then plug it in and let it fully recharge. If the light comes on again, it is probably a faulty switch.

Sorry to hear about the problems you encountered. I've had no problems with mine since I purchased it. Seems like you received two defective flashlights. Suggest you request replacements or a refund from the company. I have no other suggestions as to what's causing those problems.

You should contact the company directly. I understand from past reviews that they have good customer service. I have had problems with my light randomly going off!

1st A double fast click will turn on the little flashlight and again turn it off. 2. when you charge something and want to turn the charge off you click it one time. NOTE sometimes it takes more than one try. Play with it and you will learn fast. Hope this helps. I love mind I have three of them.FAHAD IS WRONG I AM SORRY TO SAY.

The flashlight is poorly put together. You should unscrew the top of the flashlight and check the button. That was wrong with mine.

Same here. The light will not turn off unless I loosen the battery compartment. ...but this doesn't do me any good when I'm underwater and want to turn the light off.

You simply twist the head of the flashlight (the end where the light is) until it comes on. And untwist it to turn it off.

Nathan I don't have a answer for that. I took out mine and tried duplicating what you described; and I stopped about half in, it started to take an increasing amount of pressure to get it to move. I can ho that might have happened to you, since you had no idea what it was supposed to feel like. If you got it all the way in, you may not be able to get it out. I know by now you've seen the instructions on the end of battery housing. You might try adjusting the light so that is almost all the way back toward the top head strap. This is so you can hit the body of the light against the palm of your other hand. Grasp it tightly in your dominate hand, make sure the battery cap is off and pointing down. I was able to hit with a fair amount of force against my other hand. This may help dislodge the battery housing or get out enough so you can grab it with something. If that doesn't work you may have to try something that may damage the light itself. I'm sorry you've had this problem with otherwise excellent light. Good Luck!

It twists on and off. Mine would flicker on and off get a different flashlight.

I did have that problem. However, there's an alternate method of turning on and off the light by twisting the front end. I twist the front end a little bit so the light is off which does not allow it to be turned on using button on the rear.

It sounds defective, sorry.They should work right away all the time.A connection is not working correctly; it could be the switch or a contact.These are great flashlights but every once in a while something can go wrong in manufacturing.All the best.

1. Test the "new" batteries individually to make sure they are OK. 2. Confirm that each battery is installed correctly into the holder - the flat (-) end of each battery should be towards the spring in the holder. 3. Confirm that the battery holder is installed correctly into the flashlight - the holder goes in "bump" end first. If your flashlight still isn't working, then either the on/off switch or the LEDs have failed, and these are not user-replaceable.

Sorry, can't help you with your problem, I bought this 9X TrustFire, but the seller sent me a different brand (CrazyFire) and it was bad from the start, there were only 3 modes instead of 5, hi-med-low and then it switched off when it tried to go to the next mode which I think it's S.O.S. I returned the flashlight.

Mine does the same thing. I unscrewed the bottom cap and the top cap (not the head where the light is) wiped all battery contact surfaces and now it is better but sometimes comes on dim. This would suggest it's a manufacturing problem and not necessarily the switch. However, I wouldn't rule that out as the whole unit is not the best quality I have seen in these types of flashlights. I guess you get what you pay for.

Is it charged? If so the bulb may have to be replaced! Mine did. As a result of the way they are shipped the bulbs get ruined! But all and all this is a great flashlight! Call Amazon and tell them it's not working and they are very good on replacing them. I had to do that with mine and the 2nd one was fine.
