Why was the control flashing?

We are having that same problem. We turn it on and then before going to sleep, we turn it off and then in the middle of the night it is flashing. It

Mine started flashing when turned on for more than a few minutes. Sometimes it started flashing when turned off (but plugged in). The only way to get it to stop is to unplug it. Contacted Westpoint Stevens; a rep said to "reset" it by unplugging the control from the pad and from the wall. This didn't fix the problem. I was told that I could ship it back to Westpoint, at my expense (about fourteen dollars), and would be sent either a replacement control or a refund.

I had this happen to mine before. Once was when it was not plugged in all the way from the cord where it goes into the pad. Another time it happened after the power went out; we just unplugged it from the wall outlet, then plugged it back in and it worked fine. Hope this helps!

Remove ALL batteries and put them back in...Viola! No more flashing...This technique also works when the batteries are going low and begin to flash. Be sure to dim it slightly and the battery life will be extended.

did you previously extracted the diffuser or the white cap on the top of the flash ? if so, try to press it until hearing a "click" or just try to pull it and the push it back until that.

If they all went off at the same time there is either a fire or smoke, or the system is centrally powered and a short in the system set them off. I would speculate a power failure or surge may have done it.

Sounds like u wired the light to the flasher. Listen to flasher and if u got a wire wrong u will here the flasher clicking. FYI my light burned out first week

We put them overhead. They have a default flashing pattern. It reverts to that every time. So if you want a specific flash pattern, you'll have to punch the button several times to get it every time they are turned on. They are bright and we faced one forward and one backward.

If the flash is mounted on the camera properly it should be firing automatically. If that isn't happening then it suggests that either the flash or the camera is damaged or the flash isn't on the hot shoe properly.

Really? You held the button down until all the lights had blicked in a row (top down then possibly down up) and then a final "flash" or two before going back to green? This really should stop it. Please try again and let me know. Thanks a bunch. (Huie D.)

This is normal. It flashes when it is going through the current in the house and then it stops for a while and then does it again.

I've never seen a fast flashing. I squeeze the trigger, the light turns on and will time out. If it does the same thing with either battery, it could be a light issue, You should contact dewalt.com with your question.

Assume you mean "System Alert" (there's System Alert and Pump Status LEDs). When it's flashing, the rest of the LEDs give error code, per manual. All of the errors have to do with battery, the solutions are either charge the battery or replace the battery.

Barry; Never had that to happen to me, sorry but you need to contact a company tech. Have a great day and thanks for asking. Dan

Perhaps they have changed something but ours does not have a red light. Perhaps the flashing red means it is heating. Does it heat up? Did you try a different setting rather than on high? I'd try to leave it on a couple hours to see what happens. If it does not go off, then malfunction.

Yes, there is a deactivation timeout from either 10, 20, or 40 seconds. So, if you set to 10 seconds and press brake again within the 10 seconds, no flashing.

It's motion that makes them flash. The problem was that they each only lasted about week and they no longer flashed.

The skin tone flashing and auto dimming are two seperate things. My set had auto dim issues (screen going nearly black) and the first update took care of it. I still have the flashing issue, sometimes severe, and the updates do not fix it. Go to avsforum and search it, it's a huge issue with these sets. Type in "red flashing".
