I had the same problem with my Smart Strip LCG1 after switching to a computer with a small power supply. I called Bits Ltd. and he said that the LCG1 takes more current for the switched outlets to work, but the new LCG3 would work and also has adjustable sensitivity. He actually offered to send me the LCG3 in exchange for my LCG1 at no cost to me. Bits Ltd. even paid shipping. I setup the LCG3 and everything is working fine now.

How do I know if I have an LCG1 or LCG3?

Over the weekend I finally had a chance to mess with my smart strip. I did find a small plastic screw on the side of the smart strip which changes the switching threshold. So what I did was turn the screw all the way clockwise and then turned on the computer and then turned the computer off. The tv/speakers/marquee light did not turn off as usual. So then I slowly started to turn the plastic screw counter-clockwise until the tv turned off. Now I can turn the computer on and off and everything else turns on as expected.
