Devices remain on even after shutdown

Since installing BIOS 1.4, or since converting my IDE drives into Promise RAID-0, I have noticed that my peripherals do not turn off after shutdown.  My keyboard lights turn off, but the optical laser on my mouse stays on, as does the LED on my joystick.  However, if I unplug the computer and plug it back in, the devices remain off.  Can anyone help me out?

I have the same probelm with my system, my micorsoft optical mouse stays on after power down. It only started after I upgraed to BIOS v1.4. However, here's a link to a microsoft support articel about this (atricle 325975 at the knowledge base)  ( http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;325975&Product=hdw). It's apparently not a big deal and it happens. I haven't tried switching over to the USB port yet for my mouse, it's still in the PS2. My only reason for not wanting the light on, is I wonder if it degrades the life of the mouse? The microsoft atrcile says "If the continuous mouse light is acceptable to you, you can safely leave the mouse connected to the PS2 port. ". However, that might be covert talk for "please leave it plugged in so it dies sooner and you have to buy a new one and fatten Bill Gates' wallet". Anyway, I don't think it's a huge issue. Odd that it only happens with v1.4 though....

  • When ever I customize the toolbar the open new tab sign that is the + sign near the lastly opened tab in the tab bar disappears and it remains so even after restarting Firefox.

    When ever I customize the toolbar, the open new tab sign that is the + sign near the lastly opened tab in the tab bar disappears and it remains so even after restarting Firefox. This happens only after updating to the new version 4.0.1 it never happened in the older versions 3.x.xx- checked it thrice. Thought it could be a bug and i didn't know where to report also don't have time and patience to search for the appropriate page so i'm reporting here for improving my favorite browser.

    You can find the New Tab button showing as a '+' on the Tab bar.<br />
    You can open the Customize window and drag the New Tab button from the Tab bar on another toolbar and it will become a regular toolbar button like the New Tab button that you have in Firefox 3 versions.<br />
    If you want the New Tab button at the far right end of the Tab bar then place a flexible to the left of it.<br />

  • Computer wakes from sleep but screen remains black even after restart

    So, I installed SL yesterday and everything seemed fine. Last night, I closed my computer's monitor (putting it to sleep) for the night. This morning, when I opened it, the screen was black. I could not see anything, so I just restarted the computer.
    On restart, the screen remained black.
    After some experimentation, I realized that the computer was actually running, but I just couldn't see anything. So, I typed my password - screen was still black.
    I then pressed the power button and enter - shutting down the computer properly.
    After it shut down, I turned it on and the screen came on as normal...
    What's going on here?
    I checked some other threads and there was some potential issue with the iphoto screensaver, but I am not sure if that is the case here or not.
    Any thoughts on how to fix this or prevent it form happening in the future?

    I just had a similar thing occur. After resetting the pram the screen came back on.
    I had noticed some problems with the hot corners for sleep mode earlier so I have deactivated them now to see if this was the problem. The only other thing I can think of is the recent Java update. I installed it right before the problem occurred.

  • On rented movies, why do subtitles remain onscreen, even after the foreign language part is over?

    I've never had this problem before, until the last two movies I've rented. Subtitles come on during a foreign language part, and then remain onscreen indefinitely. I've turned off closed captioning on both my Apple TV and on my TV, to no avail.
    I would think the subtitles would be 'embedded' in the movie (as part of the movie image); these appear to be closed captioning, generated by the Apple TV or myTV.
    Pretty annoying. Any ideas on how to fix this?
    Thx

    I see the same problem. In fact you can see the movie if you click on the arrow next to the iPhone icon under "Devices" in iTunes. then click on "rented movies". the old movie will still be there, although you can't remove it or even un-check it. My guess is that it will delete itself after the rental period, but this is clearly a bug. To avoid this in the future I will try to move the video off my iphone before deleting.

    Hi Thatigowtham,
    Welcome to Lenovo forums
    As I understood that you are facing the issue with the laptop where the LED lights are glowing after laptop shutdown completely.
    I would like to suggest few of the trouble shooting steps:-
    Try to boot the laptop by connecting only battery, remove the adapter.
    Try to boot the laptop by connecting only adapter, remove the battery.
    Also perform the power drain, by disconnecting all the extrernal devices connected to the laptop.
    Turn off the laptop.
    Remove the battery and also the adapter. Now press and hold the power button for 30 seconds.
    Connect the battery and adapter and try to power on the system.
    Also check in safe mode for the issue. 
     Hope this helps! Do post us back for further queries.

  • Hot even after shutdown

    i just bought my macbook pro yesterday! i turned it on and started to configure it and after being fully charged i turned the power off. this morning it is still buzzing and is super hot. should i just take the battery out whenever i dont use it? this seems very inconvenient for a 2000+ dollar laptop

    How did you turn off the power? Did you use the Shut Down... menu item in the Apple menu?
    There won't be any fans once it is shut off but it may take a while to shut down. You might want to watch and wait for the shutdown to be complete to make sure you don't have a software problem.
    Once the MacBook Pro is shut down properly it won't wake up again unless you schedule a Start up or wake using the Schedule... button in the System Preferences, Energy Saver panel.
    This is different from sleeping where many things could cause the MacBook Pro wake back up. If you unplug the MacBook Pro and close the lid, it should stay sleeping if it is working correctly. Even if you wake up the MacBook Pro in that state using the remote control for example, it goes back to sleep in about 5 seconds.

  • Screen remains blacks even after waking up from Sleep mode

    Hi,
    I've had my Macbook Pro for over a year now and it hasn't given me any problems until recently. The screen would remain black when I open up the laptop to wake it up from sleep mode. There would be no response even when I press random keys. When I close the laptop again, the white light at the bottom right corner lights on (when it's supposed to "breathe" while sleeping). The light goes out when I open up the laptop. The only thing I could do is to restart the computer.
    What is the problem? Are there any ways to rectify this?

    I am going to add my problem to this as I believe it fits and may add to the conversation.
    I have a MacBook Pro, am using Parallels, and have an issue waking it up from sleep.
    Circumstances:
    I close the lid and walk away from the device in my office. When I return, (over night or an hour later) I open the lid, and if nothing happens swipe the touchpad or press a key, the power light changes from pulsating to steady. then in less than 15 seconds it goes back to pusating. The display never energizes, only remain black.
    I usually try opening and closing several times, and occaisionally that will work. Other times, I hold the power key until I hear the drive halt, then turn it on. The grey screen will display, then blue, then just before it gets to the log in, the screen goes black (not energized) and the light pulsates.
    I have tried the PRAM reset and Safe Mode starts with no luck.
    *Now the really wierd thing.* I decieded to contact Apple support on line and pay for help (yes that is weird in an of itself for me). As I began the process it came to the part for me to enter my serial number. With the lid open, I turned the MacBook on its side to try to read the number and the screen energized and the password unlock prompt was waiting for me to enter the password.
    Observations
    I had read where the light sensor could be blocked by dirt or the light in the room was too dim, but I clean the screen and there is plenty of light. Dales Post is the first that I have seen Parallels and the Sudden Motion Sensor. That makes some sense to me because of what happened when I turned it on its side. I have verified that it happens regardless of using Parallels. as teh last time I did it I had closed out of all my VMs and I believe exited Parallels.
    I am going to try the deleting the power preferences file and will report back.

  • Open Qty and Delivered Qty  remains same even after Return

    Hello
    After making return, the open qty remains the same and its not reflecting the return qty.
    for e.g.
    I have made a Sale Order of 100 qty
    I delivered 20
    In sales order my Delivered Qty is 20 and Open qty is 80
    Now I made a Return of above 20 Qty
    But after that the Order is still showing Delivered 20 and Open Qty 80
    The Open qty should be 0 at this stage.
    Regards
    Indrajit

    Hi Indrajit ,
    Your doubt is genuine .
    The Open quantity of SALES ORDER , at item level (row) does not increase by returning the goods.
    Once you have delivered the goods it will reduced from the Open quantity .
    .You have to create a new Sales Order for further Open quantity
    Thanks

  • Smart playlists won't update, remains empty even after weeks

    Before I updated to the new iTunes, my smart playlists worked fine. My current version (11.0.3.) does not seem to add songs to or update any of the playlists I have created since downloading the new version. I have turned my itunes on and off several times and the version is up to date. I read this thread, posted by someone who had the same problem but his/her playlist automatically updated itself a few hours after it was created. Some of my smart playlists have remained empty for weeks. How do I solve this issue? It is driving me crazy.

    One of them is a 1950s playlist in which the following rules apply:

    - Year is in the range 1950 to 1959
    The secon playlist is a compilation of remixes:
    - Artist name contains the word remix
    - Song title (name) contains the word remix
    - Album title contains the word remix
    Are these Match Any or Match All?

  • Black window remains open even after closing the window programatically

    I have an application which has multiple windows. From mainwindow button click event I am closing the child form of the application. The child window is opened after a successful socket, serial or gateway connection attempt, after which the application
    do work with some threads and while clicking on a button on mainwindow I am closing this child window after disconnecting the respective connection mode. But after the close event the child window background gets black and it remains open unless and until
    I just do a minimize and maximize the application. Please help me on this to get this issue fixed.

    Well the details are rather going to depend on what it's doing.
    It's a very open ended question really.
    But...
    Your options include.
    Background worker.
    https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc221403(v=vs.95).aspx
    DIspatcherTimer
    https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.threading.dispatchertimer(v=vs.110).aspx
    Async Await
    https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh191443.aspx
    Tasks
    Task.Factory.StartNew(() => { Dosomething(); });
    Or just a plain thread
    using System.Threading;
    new Thread(() =>
    Thread.CurrentThread.IsBackground = true;
    // DoSomething();
    }).Start();
    Where DoSomething is a method.
    You can also have inline code of course instead of a method.
    Whilst on a different thread to the UI you can't update UI objects.
    You'll get a thread affinity error message if you try.
    That means you either return your results to the ui thread and process them there ( particularly convenient with async await ).
    Or you update something which doesn't have thread affinity.
    An observablecollection bound to an itemssource doesn't have thread affinity eg.
    You do need to raise property changed at the end of your processing with that option because it notifies collectionchanged on the wrong thread and the UI won't know it changed.
    Or you can dispathcher.begininvoke to get back to the UI thread.
    All depends what you're doing but hopefully one of those options there will suit you.
    Hope that helps.

  • Connection remains opened even after calling conn.close

    i have a need to copy records from one table in a database (say db1) to another table in another database(say db2). I open connection to both databases, and get a Recordset (say rs1) by executing a query that contains all rows that i have to insert in the database db2. Next i get an empty recordset(rs2) on the table in the database db2 (with locktype batchoptimistic, clientside cursor). i loop on rs1 and for each row in rs1 i insert a row in rs2 and copy the fields. after all rows are done, i delete the rows from db2 that will be affected and do an updatebatch on rs2. then i close the recordsets and the connections
    everything works fine except that the connection with the db2 is not getting closed, neither is it throwing any exception. when i comment the updateBatch code the connection closes normally.
    can anyone please help me out, where am i going wrong.
    thanks
    Vijay Sharma

    Hi,
    There is one more thing that I want to add to the above question. After calling conn.close() I checked the status of the connection and it was not 'OPEN' but when I checked session information through DBA studio it was showing one connection. I enabled trace of Oracle provider for OLE DB. Trace showed that two sessions were opened but only one session was closed.
    Thanks,

  • Post updating my 4s handset with ios6 handset is not going off automatically even after 1 min timeline

    my handset remains active even after 1 minute benchmark set for auto off.

    I've gone through the same process as you've described with a different twist. They advised me that the screen on
    my phone was cracked. They are sending me $36 instead of the Appraised Value of $200.  I'm not an Attorney
    but I would bet it would be an easy win over Verizon in a Class Action, because this whole process smells
    bad. There must be tens of thousands of people getting ripped off and they're not all liars, which is what Verizon would have a judge believe. Contract or no contract, most states prohibit Agreements that would negate consumer protection
    from fraudulent business practices.
    Verizon may play hardball with it's disenchanted customers and there isn't much you can do as an individual.
    This just happened with me on one phone and I'm waiting for news of a second phone that I sent at the same time.
    In the meantime I will visit the Verizon Store and talk to the salesperson who sold me the two new iPhone 6's
    and see what he can do. I will also contact my local Better Business Bureau office for their advice. If there's no satisfaction, I will keep the phones, stop paying my bill and get a new carrier. They can take me to court, but I will be there first in@ Small Claims Court. I'm retired so I have time to do this stuff, but most people can't, so the best bet is still a
    good Lawyer with a Class Action Suit and lots of negative publicity in the papers and the internet.

  • Touch screen in not working even after Hard Reset

    My Palm Treo 750 stopped working and responding suddenly........i tried a soft rest which didn't worked i then tried hard reset but in both cases the device boots and screen pops up "Tap the Screen to Start The Device". However this is the point where my device  hangs up even after resetting it several times. I have also downloaded reset software from the palm website but unfortunately it only runs/works from palm device. i have installed microsoft active sync from the palm CD and my device is detected and syncronized using USB cable which prbably shows it doesnot have a hardware issue.

    Remove any screen protecters or cases, then hard reset again. If the problem continues then it will need to be repaired or replaced.

  • Can I set my screen view to zoom out (ie to 90%) permanently, so that after shutdown it remembers the settings for all pages whenever opened (until I change it again) ?

    On internet explorer I can set the 'zoom' to 90% and all subsequent internet pages, tabs, windows display at this setting even after shutdown/reboot etc. It is a permanaent setting until I change it. I need this for my eyesight (long-sighted). Can I set this with Firefox?

  • Spell Check Box stays up even after sending mail.

    Lion truly has some bugs. More annoyances, which is what bugs are I guess. I noticed that in Mail now, after you hit send and cycle through all the spell check changes, the spell check box remains open, even after you've sent the email off. I know it's just one click to close it, but it makes you think the mail didn't get sent. It's so more official when everything just closes up, you know? Am I being too picky here?

    yep same here, my spell check box stays open - any fixes?
