My M97 was totally dead this morning and was out of warranty so I took the back cover off. It required removing 2 screws where the additional memory card slides in (you have to remove the memory card to get to one of the screws)and I then used a small flat screwdriver and pried it apart where the two pieces come together. When it comes apart the two switches for volume and lock/unlock will fall out so remember how they came out so you can get them back in correctly. There is a power connector from the battery that is attached to the motherboard. I used a small screwdriver (Flat) to push the connector out, I slid it out and waited 1 minute and when I put it back in the machine came back to life and has been operating so far today. The reset switch didn't do it. (maybe if I held it in for a minute it would have worked but everything that I tried before I took it apart didn't bring it back to life. It was removing the power connector that did the job.

try putting a paperclip into the small hole in the back. this will reset the unit and it should be good as new

I have read that if you reset it, it will turn on. There is a hole in the back behind the on/off button. Stick a paper clip or some other small sharp object in the hole and hold it for a few seconds. I have also read that if you do that while holding down the on/off switch it may come on.

Did you try charging it?? Cause when I ordered mines for my sister, it didn't turn on either, then I went to go charge it, and it turned on. If it doesn't work that way, you can try resetting it, though like I said before, I have a MP610, that one is better, than this one, my sister has this one, I found that one more complicated than the one I have which is the MP610, hope I was of help..

Try holding the power button until it's off and then turn it back on. If that doesn't work, try popping out the battery and putting it back in to see if that resets it.

Sounds like a defect.. barely pressing button should change modes while a firmer press should click and power off..sounds like a lil bit of bad luck. :(

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.

Mine took a little while to turn on. You need to press hard on the power button

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.

The one I have vibrates for a min or 2 before I have to press it again but mine might be defective.

Restart your computer and repeatedly press F8 while you turn it on. This should bring you to some menu. Press system restore restore back to the date it worked. I had the same problem and this advice worked for me.

all you do is turn it on and hit the button on the side. If that doesn't work, try charging it for a while and if that doesn't work then you may want to call where it was purchased

Unmount it and redo it again. Unlock the release botton by lining the white lines. If it doesn't work after the try, send it back.

Press and hold the power button for at least 3 seconds. That usually works.

If you can get it on, do a factory reset. If not search online for a hard reset sequence.

try hitting the reset button you will need a paper clip to press it in. Don't press to hard that most likely will fix this issue

Mine hasn't worked since I opened the package. I didn't return the product because the yellow 'Do not return this product to the store" was in the box. I called Umarex and they want me to pay to ship the Steel Force to them for warranty work. I am still negotiating with them.
