So, i got the Summer Infant Day and Night monitor about a year ago and never had a problem with it until now. All of a sudden the screen wont stop flipping around, no matter what i do. I've tried changing channels, moving it closer, i think it just finally broke. Anyone have suggestions on how to fix it?? Or a cheap monitor under $150 that works well?? I've gotten so used to having it, i cant go back!
I had the same issue, but only when the monitor wasn't plugged in. I think it might be the battery, that was my problem. If you call them, they'll send you a new battery for $10. Takes about a week for it to arrive. Might be a quicker, cheaper fix than a new monitor
If you got it less than a year ago, it is under warranty. I had trouble with the same monitor after a few months and Summer gave me a prepaid shipping label to send it back to them and immediately shipped me out a new one. You don't need a receipt, just call them and they can tell when you bought it from the serial number on the product. Good luck!
I wonder about the batteries. It sounds like what happens to us when the receiver hasn't been plugged in and the batteries start to fade. Maybe the rechargeable batteries are worn out? Just something to check.
i also had an issue with my summer infant night and day monitor but the company actually replaced it for free since it was within a year of purchase. they are a great company and stand behind their products, you may want to try to see what they could do for you. hope this helps!
Hi, you can buy JUST the monitor through the Summer company. Or you could email them and tell them the problem and maybe they will replace it for free. It is worth a shot. And if they don't the monitor alone isn't all that much.
Good luck!
I've had two do that to me.. I think they just go after a while, the picture tubes go on them. my audio still works on both though.. if someone in the area is using a cordless phone that is on the same frequency, that will mess it up too. you have to buy one that is not the usual frequency as phones..
Alot of times those monitors are guaranteed. I know someone that got one out of the safety first catalog and it has broken a few times and they send out a new one for free and you send the old one back. You don't even have to pay for shipping. I would look into it w/ the manufacturer.
Hi,
I have the same one and I could not figure out what happened to it. It actually was the battery. I went online to summer's web page and ordered it. Well worth it!
Hope you have good luck!

Hi,
The best thing I ever got was a video sec. system at Sam's club( under $150). It comes with 2 video cameras & it hooks up to your tv so no more looking at a small screen. We have it set to our bedroom tv so before we go to bed we can make sure he is ok & in the morning see if he is up. He almost never crys at night but when he does we turn the tv on& can see if something is wrong or if it is a passes cry. & like I said you have 2 cameras that you can use for another room or outside for safety. Good luck.
