Bits Limited power strip problems

ahofle:
My Bits Limited power strip has recently started to take a long time to shut off my monitor and marquee after the computer shuts down.  As of a few days ago, it does not shut them off at all now.  My friend has one and says the same thing recently happened.  Has anyone else had this problem? 
JustMichael:
Have you tried adjusting it?
Quarterhorse:
On the side of the strip there is an adjustment knob...mine you put a small flathead screwdriver in and turn it clockwise to increase the sensitivity. 
ahofle:
Duh, thx I'll give that a shot tonight.   :banghead:  It worked right out of the box with no adjustment, so I just figured something might have broken.  So how often do these things need to be adjusted?
Quarterhorse:
I have to adjust mine quite a bit -- but I have a different setup.  Mine is a laptop...and the power source is constantly "on" to a degree to charge the battery.  It doesn't have a battery in the slot, so the power draw can fluctuate to a bit.  I've had it in one spot for a few weeks so maybe it will hold.  I'm sure a more electrically-inclined person can give you a better answer, but I know you will at times "draw" more power from your wall -- and need to adjust the sensitivity.  That's why there are companies that sell power regulators (e.g. the monster cable one) to control this for home theater systems.
