The battery light doesn't seem to work. Power button difficult to use. Anyone else have this?

You have to hold the power button in for a second or two. It will make a cute little noise when it turns on or off, then you can release the button. Not sure what you mean by "battery light"......nothing lights while mine is charging, but there is a small blue light inside that flashes when the power is on.

I have never had a problem with either one of mine. I just hold it down and it powers up. I tend to also recharge them after each use, so they are always ready!

The battery light turns red when it's low. Power button, usually I hold it 5-10 second to turn on or turn off.

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.

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.

Might be a lose battery. Try to put a slight pressure on the battery while pressing power button. Also try to remove and re-install the battery.

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. :(

You may want to contact the seller. I didnt have such issues. You may have already done this, but to double check unplug the power cord just to make sure the battery is working.

Im sorry... No suggestions... That sadly is exactly what happened with me. I just threw it away after about a week of it not turning on showing any motion with the lights. Maybe flip the black switch on the bottom and it may work.

No i have been having problems with my battery also. In the manual it says that there is a small light that lights up when it is charging..i plugged it in accoarding to what the manual says and the light has never turned on. I charged the camera over night and it will only turn on it it is plugged into the charger....anyone have any advice on this?

The power button doesn't seem tow work on any of these units. (I have the 4 bay and have the same issue). Just log into the web-interface and shut it down from there.

I have that problem, too. Imagine changing the battery might help. Haven't tried it yet, since I don't really need it.

Mine did the same thing. I took the battery out for a few minutes, put it back in and then it powered on again. You might also try holding the power button down for up to 30 seconds to cause a hard reset.

I've used and liked this product since i purchased it about two years ago. The first time I had to replace batteries, all went well, though I had to reset the unit to get it to work. The second battery change hasn't gone so well. I can't get it to turn on, in spite of using the reset procedure. Does anyone have any suggestions of this situation?

maybe try resetting it to factory settings and try again. Maybe remove battery?

Same thing has happened to me. What I did was wait and tried again, held power button down. I also made sure charge was full. When u plug in charger there is a small red light. Be worried if the red light doesn't show

Jerry; Other than pushing the light bulb button net to the power button, I see no user fixes. Sorry, these things can be vexing. Good luck. Al

The same thing happened to me. I bought 2 of them and 1 don't turn on . I also replaced the batteries and it still doesn't work. I don't know how to replace it eather because the packaging has been taken out to the trash.
