Sounds like you got a bad timer from Aputure. I would send it back because the LCD should be on all the time as mine is even when it is unplugged from the camera.

Either the battery is dead or you need to flip it (The Battery) over. Thats how I keep a longer life in my battery. When Im done using it I open the battery slot and flip it over. If thats not the problem then you may have a bad unit. Hope this helps.

two options here; for my experience whit the product looks like the battery don't work or exhausted or maybe the product is defective, because you don't need the battery for snap photos whit out timer.

try reseting it... if it doesn't work then it might be a problem with the device.

Thanks but what I'd like to understand is how it can be working perfectly one day, shut off while not in use, then the next time I turn it on, the image on the LCD screen is blurred, I haven't even pressed the shutter release yet, (and wouldn't due to the blurred and dark image). How can that happen? Why is there a need to adjust ISO settings when they haven't been touched?!

Glass digitizer-- will fix as long as you didn't break the LCD under the glass. I also used a heat gun.

I found a partial workaround solution for my problem (like yours) of the unit turning off a few seconds after turning it on. I press (and hold) the Stop button, and then the On button, and continue to press them both until the blue SA-CD light and the blue MultiChannel light go off, and then back on again. After that, the unit works ! Except that the LCD panel remains blank. Many (perhaps all) of the front panel buttons work. I still need to experiment to see if the remote works, and to what extent. Sony gave me the choice of a refurbished unit, or to repair mine, under warranty. Anybody got an opinion on which is the way to go ?

I also, get a blank screen? I was going to send it back, but I wasn't sure if it was something I wasn't doing

Change the flat little battery and ensure it has battery, if that battery is dead, it will prevent the entire unit to function. If your little battery has power, it will power up the LED display. try that, if not, it might be a bad unit.

It will only fix the lcd. There is a lcd and screen combo on here somewhere! Is your lcd messed up and the screen cracked?

Hey, I don't have the same problem after connecting to a computer. But when I'm in review mode and delete a photo/video and turn off the camera directly without going back to camera mode, I've noticed that the screen stays on, but black and none of the buttons, not even power, will work. You just have to simply remove the front cover, take out the battery and put it back in. I've had to do this 3 times thus far and it's not a consistently occurring problem, but the solution works every time.

Read the instructions and make sure everything is being hooked up properly. If that is not working I would try a new battery or send it and exchange it. I have had zero problems with mine so far. I hope this helps.

I am also having the same problem, but sometimes mine will turn on and say "LD error. Please insert sd card and restart system." I have tried it with and without an SD card and still nothing. I even tried it with an AC adapter but all I get is a blank screen. I'm guessing it's defective and will have to be returned, but if anyone has figured out how to get it to work in the meantime, I would love to hear it!

I tried just about everything and had the same problem, couldn't turn it on. changed batteries to make sure I wasn't missing anything and nothing! All I can suggest is, return it and get your money back! I would had done that but my was out of the country!

Heyy, try using just a regular battery. Positive is red or with a code written on it and negative is the solid black. I tested all before installing and only one didn't work. Hope this helps :)

When that happens I just replace the battery. It always works. Sorry. (Maybe try a different new battery?)
