Purchased three of these beacons and tried them out upon arrival and after charging. All worked great. Yesterday my Miss Chrissy mounts arrived and when I went to test them again, none of them would even power on. All I get when I hit and hold the power button is a momentary pale blue light and then nothing on all three. Recharged all three and they are all as dead as doornails. Any similar experiences? Love the product - when it worked.
 
Have one on one of my FPV quads ... works without any hiccups. And to turn them on you press the button for 2-5sec then release?
 
Yep - that’s how they are supposed work. Replacements are en route. Find it difficult to believe three of them are faulty but I can’t think of anything I’m doing wrong. Charge, disconnect and press the only button for 2-5 secs to turn on or off. Maybe a bad batch of batteries?
 
EPILOGUE:

I ordered my defective VIFLY beacons through Amazon and received a replacement set in 72 hours. They work perfectly.

Let’s hope I never need them.
