Have you plugged it in to charge? After it is charged you need to set it up. The "home" button will tell you what to do.

It is very easy. Plug it in, push the button on the right and pull up lever and should start right away.

Make sure battery is charged. Slide bar on top to the left. If that does not start it, it is likely gone. Ours is several years old and still working.

You may need to press the button. I thought mine was dead too. But it only appeared to be. Once you press it to your skin it goes on.

Push button start. Very easy. You can push the button against any hard surface to light it.

There's a starter button on the right side near the handle. You push that down, hold it and then pull the trigger on the handle. It's a little awkward, so I always had to user two hands to do it. Once you pull the trigger it starts up - so you have to have a good grip so that it doesn't jump forward. I know it sounds a little complicated, but you get the hang of it quickly.

There aren't any directions. Just keep pushing the tiny button on the bottom to change the color, make it change colors itself or turn it off!

I wasn't able to find any button so I think you twist it to turn it on. But mine didn't work so I don't know for sure.

Most of the time I don't ever respond to these but since it took awhile for me to figure this out myself I'm going to help. I had the same issue.... Apparently there is some stupid little button on the bottom of the unit that I found. The fun part is it isn't even a button. You have to read the little strip where the sticker is and on there is says reset. Press and hold that button and the unit will turn back on. I hope this helps. PS. Remember there isn't an actual button so don't spend a long time like I did searching for an actual button. The button is hidden under the sticker along the bottom.

Run a few pots of white viniger through. May have jiggle the on button for a while and separate times to get it going again

I have the same problem. The button simply sticks and the only thing to do is push the left part which happens to be a reset button. I'm not sure if this is a defect or not. The button seems like a rocker switch and you don't want that in this situation.

We took the batteries out, put cover back on and tried pushing the button but it will not open and only says "goodbye" Help!!
