If the On/Off button on the Roberts Revival RD-60 only causes the screen to flash briefly, it may indicate a power issue. Check the power source:

1. If using batteries, ensure they are correctly installed and not depleted.
2. If using the mains adaptor, confirm it is properly connected and supplying power.

If the issue persists, contact the Technical Helpline for further assistance.
