No illumination. There is no illumination on my infoglobe

When it is flickering, can you still read it? Mine didn't flicker. Maybe it just needs new batteries. I did find that mine had trouble working once I switched over to AT&T Uverse internet/phone service.

clicked select button twice. Then clicked the right button

Funny that I came across this. I just now fixed this exact problem. This unit had failed after an electrical storm. Solution found elsewhere suggested removing the batteries and unplugging the A/C adapter for 10 minutes. (I waited 30). Reinstall batteries and reattach A/C adapter. Buttons worked to get to the erase memory option, which I did. Infoglobe is now functioning properly. This is also the instructions for clearing the "eeprom error" readout that many infoglobes exhibit after a power surge. Good Luck!

Sharper Image

It's dead sorry to say.
We have owned several of them in the past and the manual itself is NO help.
We have tried to call Olympia and Sharper Image and still no help.
They have a very short life span, unfortunately.
The only thing that you might be able to do is, unplug the unit for about an hour or so, and plug everything back in. It may reset itself.
