The ship has to be pit in water, such as a pond or pool to work.The water completes the circuit.

Bought it for my 10 year old, it's been dead for a long time. Sorry, I'm no help! Good luck!!

thisis a very poor replica of Bismarck. You may be able to use the hull,motors and RC stuff and rebuild a new and authentic superstructure based of photographs.

you either have to put in in the water, or touch an exposed circuit with your finger to close it and test the motors. doesn't hurt

The boat has to be physically sitting in water. It completes a circuit. I tested it out by putting it in the bathtub with water in it. Didn't work sitting on the table, but once in the top the motors ran.

Mine had issues until I put fresh batteries in it. They weren't old, and I didn't think they needed changed but it worked. If that doesn't work, try the reset button.

Well the mouse turns of every five minutes of being idle. Just click the mouse to turn it on if it doesnt work. Try putting new batteries in or cleaning of the bottom of the mouse where the light is

Try with the switch on the light assembly in all positions, if still not working recheck the wiring connections. After that I would probably follow procedures for returning a defective unit.

I have been put some new aa batteries in, but it doesn't work. Maybe it is a defective.

There's a switch on the bottom that you turn on. If it doesn't work, it's probably defective just like mine was. Mine never worked. I tried putting in brand new batteries so many times and it never worked. Super disappointing. Send it back for a refund.

There are settings inside the actual lights; make sure they are activated. (Right behind batteries)

Make sure that the batteries are in facing the proper way. If they are in properly and the bulb is still not working, it could be a faulty bulb. Try sliding the power switch on and off (up/down) and see if the light turns on. Good luck!

First insure the wires are connected correctly. Make sure you have good batteries in the remote, if that doesn't work move it manually with the buttons on the box. If these don't work send it back for a new one.

Check and replace the batteries. I had exactly the same problem. I Called the company, their customeer service is great. At there suggestion I found one of my batteries was "defective". Replaced it and all was fine. BE sure the unit is NOT mounted close to a heater vent as warm air from heater can cause unusual activity with the light.

Hello, the lantern is still in the demo mode that is pre-set at the factory. All you have to do is take out the batteries and put them back in again. There was a label on my lantern with instructions as well as in the instruction pamphlet on how to do this. Hope it works, otherwise return it.

A couple of things. Check the outlet with another device like a table lamp. Change the batteries in the remote. If nothing works, I would send it back. These are refurbished units and the people selling them don't repair them so they will likely send you another unit. Mine works great

Mine just arrived. I can't make the light work no matter which way I put the batteries in, nor is there a switch or button to push to turn it on if it did work. What's the story with the "5 LED" light?

Touch one of the red wires to the battery's POSITIVE terminal, and touch the other wire to the NEGATIVE terminal. If the light doesn't come on, switch the wires and see if that works. If it still doesn't come on, send the lights back and get your money back.

I would make sure the bulb is connected. Otherwise, it should just turn on. If not, I would send it back. :)

Not to start off sounding like a smart a** but make sure it's plugged in to a working outlet. Second push the button on top once. If you can't tell if it's working turn the lights off. You should see a faint bluish glow in the dark.

Remove the screws on the back and insert a new battery (or both). The replacement batteries don't seem to last quite as long as the originals, but the light will once again come on.
