Make sure it's unplugged, unscrew the face plate, and examine the lightbulb. It may have been loosened from the connection or it may have broken. The bulbs are expensive so in the future be really careful not to drop it.

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.

Try flipping the battery over and charge it "upside-down". I had to write to the seller at first because my battery wouldn't initially charge.

If it doesn't come on when you press the power button, try holding down the power button for about 30 or 40 seconds. Let it up and wait about 10 seconds. Then press it again normally and see if it comes on.

Charge it first, the power button is on the back. Hold it for three seconds, that should do it.

Did you drop the camera? Probably you have a mechanical problem , should be easy to fix

My guess is that it's a bad bit of hardware (battery that isn't holding a charge) or the power button is malfunctioning. You have to hold down the "play" button for a long time to get it to turn on and I think that must put a lot of pressure on the button. I'd contact the manufacturer and tell them what the problem is and ask for a replacement unit.

Try removing the battery and reinstall it...mine stopped working after few days and that worked for me.

well i would try to fix it myself first by checking all the batteries, check for water in unit etc etc. if all else fails you should let amazon know about this problem see if they will exchange if not move on..

You need to press and hold for a few seconds the 1st buton on the left side to turn it on (same thing to turn it off). If it doesn't work then it might be dead. You should be able to get a quick refund

That happened with mine also. For me, holding the power button down for a ridiculously long time worked and it powered on. 99% of the time, it turns on easily now. Only once since then has it failed to power up normally. Holding the power button for the prolonged time was successful again. Best of luck!

Have you tried charging it? If it is not taking a charge you need to contact the company & exchange it.

Hi! Put it in the charger and when it is full the try it again. If it still was going on and of you better return the item.

That happened to me after a few months of use. I called wild game innovations and I explained to them that it wouldn't power on and they asked I send it in to them. Promptly after I sent it into them they sent me a brand new one. To this day the new one they sent me works perfectly!

Hmmm, Only suggestion I can make is to unplug the power to it and plug it in again, sometimes it needs to be restarted.

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.

If it is charged up, then hold the on button down until it lights. If it doesn't, it is likely faulty.
