Hi folks,

I got a issue with my th2go. For some reason the middle screen stays powered on, while my system is off at all. This seems to be due to having power over usb from my system. Is there any solution get rid of it. I know there are switchable powercords. But maybe there is a smarter way, per software / bios setting possibly.

My system is a sp35p2 pro with windows ultimate 64 bit. latest bios, latest drivers. my system was setup only 2 days ago.

Any ideas?

I wasn't able to tell from your post, but is the TH2GO plugged into the USB port on the motherboard or is it on a powered USB hub? If its on a USB hub then the TH2GO might think the computer is still on because its still receiving power. If its plugged into the motherboard then try moving it to another port.

Hi Mobster,

sry, forgot to desribe. The usb is plugged directly in the mainboard. That´s what seems strange to me. Altough I switch off the AC Supply from my computer, the red led in the TH2G box shines red continouesly. *head scratch* - Possibly it takes quite a time, to get unloaded

I fixed the issue myself.

Yesterday I plugged off the AC connection of my computer, as well. This morning I was a bit surprised to see, the red led is still on *g*
Ok, i Noticed that the active usb-hub delivers power over ALL connectors on the usb "network". It seems that it doens´t matter, wether the hub is a layer lower in the usb topology connected.

USB-Setup:
-------------
+ TH2G
+ Logitech USB Keyboard - Logitech USB Mouse
+ active USB hub
............- Saitek Rudder Pedals
............- Saitek X-52 Peo
............- TrackIR4

In this configuration the usb hub poweres the TH2GO as well.

I think in this case a switchable AC power cord will be a solution (togehter for computer and USB hub)
