New PSU now "Smart" power strip doesn't work
ABACABB:
Looking for a little help. I needed a beefier PSU on my MAME cab so intalled one recently. I had everything connected to a smart power strip with PC as the master. Monitor, speakers and marquee light as slave and it all worked perfectly. Now the new PSU must be still drawing enough power that even when the PC is completely shut down my monitor and marquee light do not go out.
Does anyone know an easy solution to get these things to shut off with my PC?
edekoning:
With mine I can configure the power draw threshold of the master before all the slaves receive power. I recall I had to fiddle around with it until it worked. Maybe you accidentally changed your setting? If not switch back the old PSU to make sure it still works in the old situation.
PL1:
Which brand do you have?
Belkin ones don't have the threshold adjustment screw IIRC.

edekoning:
I have a "Hama 47828"
PL1:
The manual for the Hama 47828 is here.
On page 4, there is a diagram at the top.
Adjustment screw is labeled "A".
Directions to adjust it are on page 5.

Edit: Bet you already knew that, Edekoning. :lol
How about you, ABACABB. What Smart Strip do YOU have?
(Please pardon the earlier unclear question.)
