My on/off switch broke the first day Does anyone know if I can repair the on/off switch??

That switch is soldered directly to the board, so you have to replace the board to get the switch, $10.00 as I remember. Dennis

Our son broke the on/off switch soon after we got this. In our case, the plastic actuator is gone, but the switch still works. You just need a thin probe, such as a precision screwdriver, to slide the tiny metal slide.Good luck...

Sometimes when I first got it I had to flip the switch a few times to get it to turn on but no problems since then. It may not be super high quality but works great for me so far. I wouldn't worry. Return it if it doesn't work! Good luck

Buy a new one. When these have anything go wrong, it is cheaper to buy a new one than try and fix. I had problems with the light on mine, and it was not the light, but something in the wiring. I purchased a new one from Amazon. Very happy

I purchased one and had problem with on/off switch after a few uses it became detached, and due to poor warranty I simply trashed it and purchased a lower cost brand and it works just fine.

Hi, I read what you said and the only thing I can say is, If that's the case you may have to send it back for a replacement my switch is not easy to move infact it has just the right amount of stiffness.Yet you're sounds very loose, let them know that.But if you had it for awhile then it might be hard to do it. I hope that I was helpful. Enver A

Best bet, send it back and ask for a new one. Mine has worked fine since day one. You deserve for yours to work also. Hope this helps bro.

I can't get anything on it because the on/off button would not work after 2 days. Didn't have it working long enough to find out where I could go with it.

I looked this morning, but aside from the Hi/Lo toggle switch, I saw no other switches such as an On/Off one. Perhaps you need to contact the manufacturer for help.

Mine went bad really fast. It turned out to be the battery in the switch. Slide the switch out look on the back undo the three screws to get to the battery. Good luck!

Check the secondary switch they sent with it, also check your batteries. If it still doesn't work check the battery connection points (the plus and minus sides) for corrosion. If it still doesn't work, remove the rubber cap from the broken switch, sometimes it's a simple matter of alignment

Mine broke (the switch) shortly after I purchased it. I've previously commented that this is a poorly made product. Return it if you can.

Well, I can appreciate your request. Mine also broke, and I found that the interior fit of the knob was all plastic. Got to love this Chinese stuff. Anyway, I used some 2-part epoxy to glue it back on and it is working OK. Too bad about the knob, the switch seems to work fine.

Chances are it was accidentally turned on. Call the manufacturer, let them know and chances are they will take great care of you. They did me.

Sounds like on\off switch is defective. Try using some canned air around edges of switch. May have a grain of sand holding it open. Just a thought. Jim

Mr. Fix says check with the manufactor for parts. If your handy try retrofitting the parts from a hardware store. How'd that break anyway? Good luck.
