Device shuts off: Is there a fix for this?

Ugh, I have this problem too! I bought to be a gift for my grandmother, and spent a while collecting photos from family so I could preload the photos for her. Finally got everyone's photos, loaded them to a card, and tried out the frame only to discover it powers itself off after 5-6 photos every time! There's no setting for this, so I can only imagine it's not supposed to do that and is just defective, but now it's too late to return and still get to my grandmother for Christmas!

Should work as long as the device not being used is completely powered off.

Thanks, If I can get/keep a connection I'll try downloading the driver. Already did the power saver. No luck for me there.

I don't believe the shutting off is caused by the microswitch. This problem is the control panel.

Plug out the device and plug in again. It need trying. That is how I solve mine

I just leave it alone. As long as its not charging another device it will turn off on its own.

The steps P. Hofferman advised are helpful. Also try power cycling both the Buddy & your device.

Yes, mine has been shutting off after not receiving a bluetooth signal for awhile.

As I recall, the display turned off after a short time period. However, I never did get the device to work properly, so I can't go back and check at this point.

That was one of my concerns too. I just unplug it. There is no indication in the book. I've tried holding down the reset button. Doesn't work.

I haven't used mine yet but plan to soon. I've heard from other reviewers that you must remove the batteries to turn the device off, so maybe that's part of the problem.

My display is always on, as well. I don't see anything in the user's manual indicating that there is a way to shut the display off.

There is no way to be certain what your problem is. If you haven't as of yet, hold your on/off button in until the tablet has gone completely off. After about a minute turn the tablet back on again.Also you might try plugging in your power cable. Once mine went off for no reason I know and when I plugged in the power cable it came back on. If none of these action correct your problem they you will probably have to take it to Barnes and Noble and have them find out what the trouble might be.

There is an option to set the machine to shut off after a certain amount of time. You must manually activate it every time you turn the device on. It's like the sleep function on your TV.

No, that is not normal. Send it back; once I hit the enter/ power botton, I can toggle to power off and it shuts off . Hope that information helps.

We do not use the unit in this configuration, but I have found that power saving features make the device unresponsive for a while, so we turned the feature off altogether. Hope it helps.
