Lighthouse Micro Cycles all modes then shuts off
My Lighthouse Micro when turning on cycles through all modes, flashlight then dims down, full lantern then dims down, half light lantern then dims down then off. 😪 Light is totally fine, recharge, etc, but obviously a control chip issue somewhere... Not very "zero" if I unfortunately have to just send it to the box of broken toys. Any known solutions?

Being back home vs in a tent I plugged usb into a power source and powered on and that seems to have stabilized it from cycling through all modes and shutting off (some test mode??). Is there a test mode that may have been triggered? Any GoalZero admins listening? Clearly a bit nervous but more testing and confirming controller and stability before just junking it when all else working fine.

Apparently I triggered this somehow to go back into... "Demo Mode"
That was fun at 10k' in a tent w/no manual/internet in my pocket ;-)
BEFORE FIRST USE:
Take Lighthouse Micro out of DEMO MODE by plugging it into a powered USB port.
Not near a USB? Press the On/Off/Dimmer Button five times and hold on the sixth. The Battery Indicator will flash and Lighthouse Micro will be out of DEMO MODE.
