Does it light up automatically if complete the circuit? three settings (off/on no sound/on with sound) but it never works-only the try me button plays

yes it does light up automatically when you completed the light up worm I've been playing with my kids and they've been beating me and its lighting up automatically and I'm still trying to beat my kids you'll love it

If you are putting it in the "on" position, it should light when the circuit is complete.

You have to actually remove the try me button (pull out). My son experienced same until he figured that out. Directions notcreal clear in that. Hope thus helps! Very fun game once you do this.

We just followed the instructions under "Settings" one by one (very slowly). Basically you will be pressing the UP and OK button for each selection after switching it to ON. Try again. It should work. Thank you.

You don't have to turn it on. The unit is effectively in sleep mode until you select something to play. When on, the logo on top lights up in a white light - otherwise it's off.

It should just do it if you hold the button until it flashes dark blue. If it doesn't there may be a problem with it. Email the company and they'll send you a new one.

Just turn it on maybe 2 minutes before you use it..mine doesn't do that at all..

Eileen-Marie,I just checked ( I never noticed before - go figure) it does not light up. I guess I'm just always in the dark so it doesn't matter...

You are correct. I have had mine and it did the same thing. Pushing the reset and timer button and the light went out. I cant find my manual. Thank You!

I have had this problem a few times. After the cussing and the startle response have settled down, I slapped it back on and pushed it extra hard, that seems to work. I also noticed that the little light on the front never comes on, so I'm wondering if the unit is simply defective.

A light tap will not make the light turn on. I rolled the ball into a glass bowl increasing force. It took 3 rolls. It takes a pretty good knock before light flashed.

Hi Joseph, not sure if this will post under my account or not, but responding to the email: You know, I've tried...it seems like it will work at the same time for a minute...but then it stops. It's also kind of schitzo, and confusing to work. I push the right button and it doesn't go on, or I push both and they both come on, then I push the left and nothing happens, and it's unclear how to reset it. I compare it to how you push all the buttons on your remote when the TV is frozen. Seems kind of like that. Since my posting, I've stopped using it all together, because I thought that I'd just make the double light come on and flash, just for visibility. But then I discovered that it wouldn't last but for a moment. Oh well. I'm glad this was a gift, because I would have felt frustrated and returned it by now. :(

It goes by sound normally but what I did is wire it to my door light which wasn't very hard. Its basically a speaker wire. I didn't want any music stuff or anything like that. I just wanted it to come on when I opened the door.

I wish I new more about them and could help u. Mine starts funny when I plug it in and then when I push the button twice it sets it to the setting I like. Maybe u got a bad one. Mine has worked well. Good luck

That's what I wondered too, if it needed to "warm up" first, or be in an extra-dark room. You may have a faulty one too like me. I had to tap on it near the bottom & turn it upside down & hold it it at an angle to get it to light up-not what you should do to make it work! Email Amazon & they'll fwd it to Scientifics & they should email you back w/phone #. I called them today & they said Fedex would pick it up next day & send me another one. So hope next one works! Good luck with yours! :)

Don't know if I'm too late, but I've experienced the red flashing, the audio problems, and even worse, it shuts itself off randomly. One time I tried turning it back on 17 times before I gave up and left it off! I bought this at Costco and they quit carrying them. Good luck!

I tested mine by going into a normal lit room, turn it on, then turn out the lights in the room, making it dark and then seeing if the light came on. That is how I tested it and it worked exactly as it should.
