I just got the mirror, put batteries in, but the switch does not turn on the light. What am I doing wrong?

I had that problem too and it just got worse with time. After a month I ended up returning it because it quit working altogether. If you're already having problems I would save yourself the frustration and return it. It's a great concept but not such a great product. I'm still looking for something better but no luck just yet.

Sure you put the batteries in the right way? ;-) If so, switch might be broken?

Double and triple check the battery positions. They can be tricky. Otherwise it should turn on no problem.

There is a little spring in there that needs to be depressed when you turn the handle clockwise to attach to mirror. I believe it takes 3 batteries. Facing downward. Once its screwed tight, (righty tighty, lefty loosy!) Then turn very bottom to the right. The batteries have to be in there just right.

This happened to me too. Then I switched the batteries around ( I had them going the wrong way). Once I did that, the light turned on.

The mirror is a little cheap. First the obvious question: did you install the batteries properly? Make sure they are oriented correctly. After that, make sure the switch clicks as you spin it. Make sure there is nothing inside the mirror handle that breaks the circuit. If you still can't make it work, send it back to Amazon for an exchange.

Try switching the batteries. The one I bought for a gift didn't work either. They sent a new one that did work.

Turn the bezel around the bulb. This may take a try or two until you get the feel for it. If that doesn't work, there's a battery or bulb problem. I love the flashlight!

There is no on/off switch. Batteries installed should make the light blink. Yours must be defective...or your batteries are bad.

It does not light up, or have any use for batteries. Just a wall mounted swivel mirror.

Unscrew the small end. you will have to test it to see which way the batteries have to be turned but if you try both ways and you still have no light the bulb may be bad. Mine worked fine.

Try 2 things: Check the switches on the light to make sure they are in the on position. Check the light bulb.

I recently purchased this product but have not installed it yet . Right out of the box all the parts fit together and the light worked right off the bat ,before any charging . My pull switch works but is a little hard to pull it on or off . Maybe you need to but more pull into it ? The last resort is to return it .Good Luck

Is the on switch on?Test it yourself by saying"BARK" while pointing it away from your face. If that doesn't work maybe battery is no good. Good luck.

Your mirror is not wired correctly. It needs to be wired your backup light circuit. Either wire it up in the fuse box or run a wire from your backup light. Or you can leave it like it is a d turn it on when you backup, then turn it off. With it just wired straight, it picked up ALL WiFi signals.

Make sure the switch is set to on. Then glide the ring across the light cover. It should slowly fade on and stay on for about 20 seconds and then fade out again. It's all triggered with the ring which sometimes needs to be glided across the light area, gently touching it the whole way. If it still doesn't work, might need to ask for a refund

Dont know if its too late to answer this to you... but I did fix it myself just sticking a piece of dark tape on the lateral... just over the round mirror found bellow the on/off switch. I did realize that it was sending some signals to the camera saying it was not night. Maybe some reflex from the white wall. So, I did tape it and now its working fine!

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.

I thought the same thing but i realized there was a blue sticker over the light. Try taking the sticker off and it should work

Make sure you got the toggle switch in the remote control set properly, for either incandescent or fluorescent light bulbs. Or try different bulbs. Lastly, check all the wires.

I'm not an electrician but I can say that the mirror has a three-pronged (grounded) cord that plugs into an outlet. If you can take a normal plug and hard wire it to a switch, then it will probably work for this mirror as well. Again, I'm not an electrician but I hope this helps with your question.

Sounds vaguely familiar. If you press the button, does the light turn on at all? Have you tried removing the batteries, waiting a few moments, then reinstalling the batteries? If it's the problem I think it is, I think it's the light's circuitry going into a protection mode. When you charge the light, do you plug the charger cable into power source, then plug the mini-USB plug into the light? Or do you connect the light to the cable first, then connect the cable to a power source? If the former, then I suggest switching to the latter to avoid the problem. I suspect it's an issue of the powered cable touching part of the light it shouldn't if you're not inserting it "cleanly" into the charging port, tripping a protection mode.

Push the reset pin. It's a little hole and the light comes with a little pin that fits it. It was charged when I received mine. Maybe you need to charge it up first if it doesn't work.
