I recently bought a second M5 and since the first day I noticed the power button never responds on first touch. 3 months later, it now takes 10-15 presses of the power button on the monitor or the remote for it to finally come on.
The first monitor responds to the second remote, so that rules out the remote.
The power indicator blinks off and on when power is pressed on either so it's receiving the signal.
Trying to turn it on through smart things will display monitor as offline for a few minutes and then finally will be available to turn on through the app, if the other power options have not turned it on.
Any ideas or somebody experiencing the same issue? It's just getting more and more difficult to turn on.
Once it's on it passes all tests and it works fine.
Hello! Thank you for reaching out! I can see how this can be frustrating with your power button not working correctly. I would recommend making sure the button is not getting stuck and pressing correctly. After that, I would make sure the firmware is up to date also. I would also recommend unplugging and replugging it back up.
If none of this helps this will require service, you have a couple of options based on your warranty.
