A2 Powering on by itself [wacko]

iwantanA3 · 01-13-2008, 21:31

I've had the A2 for just over a year and I love it.

Recently I have been noticing that the battery seems to get flat really quick. Once it lost all it's charge and it took a long time to convince it to even start charging again.

It was very odd that the battery was losing charge when it was turned off.

Then by accident walking through the house in the dark, I saw the lights come on inside the case, I checked it and the unit had switched itself on and was sitting at main screen. After 360 seconds it turns itself off (as configured) then 10-20 seconds later, on again.

So it seems my battery issue is not battery related, it is all down to the fact that it is constantly turning itself on (then off) all the tim eI'm not using it.

I have found that I can at least put the unit on hold, so it doesn't get so far into the boot-up.

I would love a better solution though

(p.s. I'm on the latest Firmware)
