Any device that can be controlled via a remote can not be powered off open-circuit. Now some will have a standby and off state but few devices bother with that confusion and just call it off. Even devices without a "remote" but have a soft-touch button or momentary button can not truly be powered off. Modern computers with motherboards that follow the ATX spec do NOT fully power off when you hit the front power button. They can not because that power button is just a momentary switch. So the motherboard if the PSU is plugged in and switch active (some PSUs have builtin power switch), then the motherboard is powered. Some portions are in a powered down state but that is configured in the bios. -- m1abrams ------------------------------------------------------------------------ m1abrams's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=850 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=78360 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
