Anyone else having problems with the power on/off touch button? I have to touch it dozens of times to turn on/off.

Interesting issue - when I first installed the lamp, the "power on/off button" seemed to work well. But after having this lamp for a couple of weeks, I am having the same problems as Mr. Chung reported. I still like the light output and size - but I am a little discouraged by the several tries it takes to turn on and then off. Maybe I reported too soon initially on my satisfaction with this.But the difficulty in turning on & off is an issue the manufacturer needs to correct. Tom McElroy

I haven't had any problems at all. It must either depend on the touch or the actual lamp. I still love it.

The first on I received did that also. The company saw my review on Amazon and replaced the lamp. The second one has been working fine. I really like this lamp but I don't know what is up with the quality control at the company.

It seems to me that your OxyLED lamp has a problem. I would send it back to be fixed or replaced. I checked mine again and it always starts and stops if I touch it right over the LED in a fast manner. If It were as erratic as yours is I would be dissatisfied for sure. I ordered on of the other mfgr's lamps that you mentioned. I'll see how it compares. As you said it is $20 less expensive which is a good feature too.Vic NettleI am in Tampa Florida, where are you, Yoon?

with your index finger just make a circle counter clockwise (or whichever way dims the light) and it shuts off pretty nicely. i have had no problems. hope that helps.

I find that my left hand does not turn it on and off as reliably as my right hand. I suspect it has something to do with the electrical charactistics of my hand (not enough capacitance to make it register my touch maybe, or not enough temperature difference between my finger and amvbient--I don't know what their switching criteria is).But previously I bought a kindle touch screen and and it was even less responsive to my touch (I sent it back). I assumed that it was a problem with me (I an old and my hands are cold).Question: do you also have cold hands? Have you tried using a finger on the other hand?

I have the same problem. You just have to press hard at the center Instread of touching it.

Usually if you touch the center part of the dial the lamp turns on and off. If that doesn't work, your unit is defective.

I ran into a similar issue but fixed it by plugging it in and holding down the power button until it turned on. You might try holding it for 15 seconds or so.

Unless your hitting a button your not doing anything wrong.the whole system Turning completely off? Or just the screen. If it's the screen go to your settings and fix sleep timer. If the whole system is shutting down send it back. You've figured out that it's junk. I bought my daughter this for her birthday and 2 weeks later it started having problems. Screen going out. Running slow etc. Mine was refurbished though. So I thought that was the problem but apparently not. Because many are complaining about the same problem you are having and I had. Good luck to you.

I had that problem once. There is a reset button to push. When I did that it powered back on and I haven't had the issue since.

No, I haven't had any issues with the power button. I'd suggest taking the soft case off and try putting it back on to make sure the fit is secure.

My power button collapsed too. I pulled it back out with tweezers and now never turn it off! Not the best fix for saving electricity, but it's about all I can do. If I turn it off each night, it's a bear-cat to get it popped back out again. Good luck!

I have the exact same phone and a while back my phone's power button stopped working and it would turn itself off randomly. So after doing some research (what I am about to describe will in fact void your warranty), I opened up my phone, manually removed the power button so it would not turn itself off randomly. Now I utilize this product as an "On" button for my phone and it works like a charm.

That can be frustrating. It happened to me last week. Make sure it is charged, remove the charger, then hold down the power button for as long as you can. Hope this helps.

The power button doesn't seem tow work on any of these units. (I have the 4 bay and have the same issue). Just log into the web-interface and shut it down from there.

Agree with the other responses. Just press the power button again. This should turn it off. If not try holding it for a second. This has always worked for me.

Not sure what the problem is, but the power button works the same way as any other I've had before. Hold has always force shut down the system. You can probably change those settings in your OS.

I did not have the difficulty (that you mention) turning mine on/off. It sounds as though the button on yours is at question.

Hi Ya. I've have a couple of issues with the on/off switch. But, I think it's because of the water proof casing and that I'm a little impatient sometimes. It'll start up as long as I press and hold the on/off button til the little green light lites up. Then it works great!!

If it doesn't come on when you press the power button, try holding down the power button for about 30 or 40 seconds. Let it up and wait about 10 seconds. Then press it again normally and see if it comes on.

I have issues with my switch! Its a hit or miss....sometimes it turns on on the first touch, sometimes on the 10th

Sounds like a defect.. barely pressing button should change modes while a firmer press should click and power off..sounds like a lil bit of bad luck. :(
