Hello and thank you for bringing it to our attention that your Dash Portable USB Blender is not powering on. Please note that we developed a safety featured to prevent it from accidentally blending in transport. You will note there are two small arrows (one on blending base, one on blending bottle) - they need to be aligned in order for the unit to blend. If this does not solve the issue, please contact us at support@bydash.com - we would love to help further troubleshoot or issue a replacement unit if yours is defective after all. Thanks!
