How do I get it to work? I plugged the adapter into the lighter and pressed the power button but it didn't turn on

You need to make sure that the cigarette lighter socket has power. You may need to switch the ignition key to the on position. Just by plugging this device into a socket with power, the device will power on, without needed to press the power switch.

Mine turns on with the car adapter it doesn't turn on with battery because the battery doesn't last. If it doesn't turn on with the adapter correctly then feel free to return it.

I did exactly that: Purchased a "cigarette lighter" 12V connector and spliced it on to the wires. It works fine.

Mine worked for a week and stopped working...not a happy camper(Make sure your battery is in the right direction, it should spark by pressing button w/o being connected)

Unfortunately, the adaptor will not power the unit. It will only charge the battery.

Check the power port and make sure it is not bent and that the power plug wires are not torn, try the adapter for the mobile plug.

I'd comtact the seller and get a refund or get them to give another device. Could be defective. Not sure but mine works. Could try unplugging and retrying. Or if your not using the correct power adapter to use that. Not much details on how you have it hooked up. Main thing here is to contact seller to find the best solution.

I had the same problem. I contacted the seller and they sent a new one and I had the same problem with it. Just a bad lighter. I would contact the seller.

I tried my lighter, but I guess it was too short.Not sure if it would melt, but the USB car charger I plug into it works fine.

I wound up throwing mine out. The plug for the lighter was not reliable. It was a separate piece that you plug the USB plug into. The USB plug worked fine.I don't believe I used any adhesive to stick to the front glass. The suction was more than enough. Push into glass, flip lever down to hold suction. I did not use on the dashboard.

Thought of something else. Make sure your power adapter is set to the correct polarity + -, mine is set at +

It worked fine at first- about 3 months. Then it would buzz when plugged into the lighter. Then my car had some type of electrical issues that cost 2000 to fix that I say was attributed to this power adapter because after the repair my car was fine until I plugged it in again. I trashed mine, but you may have better luck and I may be giving it a bad rating in error, but I truly don't think I'm wrong.

Hi Russ, Try removing the battery completely, holding the power button down for about 15 seconds and then plugging the AC Adapter back in. If you're still not getting any power, contact our service team for additional support. http://us.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/service-contact

Thanks everyone. However, I KNEW I where to press to turn it on. My problem was I charged it for 16 hours and when I pressed the button it did NOTHING. I messed around with it and then took the chance on charging it for about 12 more hours. I put it on the charger and smashed it in real hard and now I think it's working. Maybe I didn't have it fully in the charger. It seems weird that it just sits in there with no connection port. We'll see. I appreciate everyone taking the time to try and help. Happy Holidays.

When you plug it in it should work...mine does. Make sure you push the black button in.

I had the same problem, couldn't get it to work from my Jeep's cigarette lighter. Finally cut the connector off and soldered on some alligator clips, and clip it right to the battery. That works.
