startup and turnoff issues

[Jomammamoto]

i recently got a diamond saber and it came in today but the button to turn on and off doesn't respond very well what can i do to remedy this

I’m sorry, but “doesn’t respond very well” is far too vague for us to have any idea what the problem is, so we can’t help you.

Please describe the problem more fully, or maybe even post a video of what you are experiencing, so that we can have SOME chance of providing some useful suggestions.

There are also different types of AV switches. I got the ones which are unguarded (don't have the upraised outer circle separate from the button itself) and can be illuminated. I at first was surprised at the depth the button had to be pushed in to "engage" and stay in place. Like if you press it down lightly it'll momentarily light up but not stay lit when your release it, so I had to get used to pressing it in far enough to "lock in". I don't know if this is what you're referencing or not? As Cyclops said, you'll have to describe it in detail or better yet add a video too, in order to give everyone an idea what problem you're experiencing.

Nah, it's a new piece of hardware. There is bound to be a learning curve, so it's just good you got it sorted out and don't have to worry about it anymore.

FTFY  — Like Darth Prodigal says, cut yourself some slack; we were all new to these things once.

Thanks for posting the solution!
