Having problems with my new Blackburn Flea
 
I cannot get it to charge. I have the Flea, not the 2.0. I am trying to charge it with a battery, as shown in the instructions, but it will not charge. It says to disable Demo mode, which I don't seem to be able to do either.

Some help please.....

You should post this in the MTB forum.

Why? Can't you just help me?

I didn't make it nor did I sell it to you. Have you considered asking the people who did those things?

So then why are you even posting? If you can't help, don't post.

Why did you post a question about your light in the Single Speed / Fixed Gear forum? If it's not about Single Speeds or Fixed Gears then you shouldn't post it here.



I'll make a deal with you. Help me find my keys and I'll help you fix your light. Deal?

It is about my SS/FS, its going on my SS/FS bike!!!! Maybe someone in this forum has one and can help me out, unlike you.

You gave another smart-ass answer in my other thread also. If you can't answer the question I am posting about, DO NOT POST in my thread!!

I had a flea, biggest piece of junk that I have ever had. Kicked the bucket after two rides and wouldn't recharge. Better off getting a cateye light next time.

Tried it, doesnt work. The lights never come on. It says when you hold it down, the lights will turn off, but I havent seen any lights.

They have a life-time warranty. I'm going to bring them back to my LBS and see what they can do for me.

Dannihilator 08-13-11 06:56 PM

How long have you held it down? Took the one I had about a minute.

Just tried again, held it for a little over a minute and nothing happened.

What should happen when I hold the button?

It should come on........

Not getting anything from it.

I tried charging it, but no luck there either. It says when connected correctly, charging lights should come on. Not for me.

(I don't know why this is so hard)

Want me to mail it to you Mr. Professional and you can try getting it to work?

thebrad20 08-13-11 07:08 PM

You could of got a dud, take that beast back.

RobF353 08-13-11 07:09 PM

Yup, bringing it back to my LBS.

Dannihilator 08-13-11 07:14 PM

I would get one of the cateye lights instead of the flea.

RobF353 08-13-11 07:16 PM

Should have said, I bought front and a rear light. Having the same problem with both.

I wanted these because of their small size. Does another company make a small light?

Why didn't you do this before you left the LBS?

I did. I just figured the battery had died.

I don't have the Flea 2.0

RobF353 08-13-11 07:25 PM

Do the lights have a reset button?

Leukybear 08-13-11 08:37 PM

Take it back... simple and easy as that.
