After hours of charging with my desk lamp, the motor still doesn't work. Have any suggestion?

This system is not designed to 'charge up' and then run off of a battery, instead it is direct powered from the solar panels to the motor. This means that it will run while under sunlight or lamp light and will stop when not in the light.

I had the same problem. Bought mine through a different source who send me a new AC adapter (the part of the cord which plugs into the wall). Light works perfectly now.

I don't have this problem, but it sounds like you have an electrical short in the lamp. I would return it. Good luck.

It might be a faulty unit. Like Jimbo, my unit charges easily--even an hour or so of sun is plenty for several hours of illumination. I'm very impressed with this device and hope that you have similar luck with a replacement lantern. Good luck.

I have not had the problem..I would probably take it to a lamp shop...or an electrician.

There should be a rechargeable battery in the clip area. I have not used my light since June and still have power in it. I have charged the lamp 1X since my original purchase in springtime, using it several times weekly in March, April, May, June. I'd say you have a defective product!

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.

Well most likely like many mechanical products they tend to no longer work. Should it charge? Yes. It sounds as if you just got a bad one. Depending on the return policy you may be able to return it. If not it will make a nice paperweight.

I just tried your steps and confirm it works like you want. I turned on the lamp, unplugged the power cord, then replugged the power cord back in, the lamp was still on. I believe this remains to work because the battery still had power. Make sense?

I recommend you check the battery. This is easily accessed by removing the top of the lamp, then remove the reflector/light assembly from the underside of the top piece to get to the battery compartment. I had a similar problem and they sent a replacement battery.

reboot...re insert batteries, check their orientation. If all fails contact them cos mine works brilliantly

I had nothing glowing on mine. Return it if you still can. The next thing that goes out is the fan motor. I had 2 of these. I just received the 2nd one plugged it in and the fan went out. Biggest piece of junk.

Make sure your usb port is supplying 5 volts. Lights should be on when charging, if they are already or reach fully charged no lights.

Send in for a new one...really! Or you could try to fix it by buying new boards; it is not the back light or power supply.

Sounds like the motor is defective. You should return the product to Amazon for a replacement.

Buying a battery might be a cheap fix. Make sure the charging unit is plugged in and it lights up when the unit is placed in the charger. If the unit is new, send it back.

It needs a new batttery, or the charger is bad. Check the volt output on charger.
