check the black plastic assembly that gets pushed down when you lock the jar. It has two stick up tabs, one at the top of the jar and one at the bottom. On my ninja, this piece runs down the handle. If can get out of place so the black plastic tab at the bottom does not press down enough and does not signal to the machine that a tight connection has been made.

"Here's what I did to bypass the safety feature also because the prong was too short to activate the base button enough. With the top off I chose the right side of the 2 base buttons (either work) and pressed it down with a pencil tip and drilled a tiny hole into it with a drill and used a tiny screw to keep it from popping back up.

The red dot is where you make the small hole for the screw to keep the button down. Winner winner chicken dinner!"

I had same problem, after looking at some videos, i came to know either container lid or base is not align correctly. I tried it but it did not worked. So i tried to check how it switches on, on the handle i see small gap where lid clicks. With a screw driver i slight pushed the button down and noticed, red light stopped flashing and other buttons green lights are on. I looked at the lid carefully and found that the part of lid which clicks the button is broken. I managed to fix it with inserting a small paper roll enough to push button when lid is placed. Hopefully this will help someone with same issue.
