Mine does the same, I am using the April software.

I keep trying and I can't get mine to turn on. Tried it yesterday, trying now. Pushing the power button while the lid is on does nothing for me.

Try holding it for like 2-3 seconds?

By the way, what firmware are you using? The latest March/April one or the December?

I've held the button for up to 10 seconds. I'm running the december firmware, but I thought you said you had the same problem with the december one too.

I usually leave it on in the day time, but when I go to sleep
I am 100% sure I turn it off not to loose charge on battery when I'm not using it. But every morning when I take it off the lid, the thing is POWERED on AND RUNNING! First couple nights I thought maybe I'm wrong but I try it every single night and it just powers on, I wonder if it does that on a specific time? That's what I'm thinking now, maybe it has like a specific time set to it to power on?? I will start to check it whenever I get up from my sleep each night to see if there is a specific time that it does that )
I will be watching this Thread for a possible solution, I have the latest firmware(I believe April)

Yeah, I've had been wondering if it was clock related.

Mine has turned on a couple of times on its own also. I can't figure out any pattern to this, as it is random and has only happened twice. The other wierd thing I experience sometimes is that after I hit the power button and choose "switch off", the unit powers down but then immediatly boots back up on its own. Weird! Firmware is 3.2005.51-13...

Someone else had a similar problem http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...ead.php?t=1756

if it is clocked related, that would be cron. Hoever if it's switched off (and thus truely powered down) cron won't run.

[cron] that makes perfect sense to me.

I've also wondered if I am just closing the case too soon, before it's fully shutdown. Again, I haven't spent the time I should to investigate.

Contemplated checking crontab entries, but i doubt I would find anything out of the ordinary.
