No. You have to touch the button above the Daffodil logo to turn it on. If you move your hand close to the light, a sensor will light up the blue ring on the base so you can find the on/off button.

It will provide full brightness if you plug it into an ADAPTORS with USB port. Then, after the batteries are fully charged, it will stay bright for about a couple of hours. Just plugging it into a computer USB port, you'll not get full brightness. The reason is that the output voltage on DC adaptors with a USB port is about 3.7 Volts, whereas the voltage output on a PC USB ports is very low. I hope my explanation has helped.

It has a switch. You could press on it to turn it off and on and also dim it. A lot of light. Great light for the price.

It doesn't have a switch per se. The switch is integrated into the base and you merely swipe you hand over the base like a mouse on a laptop. You can dim the light in the same manner. Short answer though, no it does not switch on by simply plugging into the usb port

No you have to push button. Small nite light turns on but not the LED light

If you charge it, and then plug it into your phone it will turn on automatically. There isn't an on, off switch.

Yes but I have to unplug and re plug the device in for the ports to be turned on. This is an issue with a number of units. It is problematic to reboot a switch every time a device is plugged in

I believe you have to either touch the power button and turn it on or else simply plug it in and it starts on auto. I have been simply plugging it in and then unplugging it when its not needed.

No plugging this device in turns it on and it's an always in device until unplugged.

You have to manually turn the switch on. Otherwise it will just be charging and not on

It should turn on as soon as you plug in the USB. If it's not, the USB port might not be getting power for some reason, or it's just broken, like mine is. And honestly, it works almost as well without the fan.

Yes, it just plugs into the USB port. I would not recommend it, though, mine only worked for about two weeks.

It should turn on automatically when you plug it into the tablet. It didn't work with my tablet even though the description said it was compatible.

There is a little button in the front of the unit, you press the button. You must connect(power and the USB Cables to it in order for it to work. I hope this information helps.

Did you turn it on before you tried to charge it? There is an on off switch that will stay on once you have it charged.

When mine died out on me the other day, I tried to plug it in and use it right away but it didn't work. When i let it charge for 10 minutes I was able to use it plugged in.

My keyboard works just fine without being plugged into USB. There is an ON/OFF switch that has to be turned to the ON position, but that's all.

I have had no problem turning the device on, it does need charging more frequently than others. Typically I leave it plugged in overnight.E

is it turned on? also is the usb inserted all the way in the external battery pack? did you see all four blue charge indicator light up? have you found the power button on the side? have you tried a different usb lightening charge cord?
