Light stay on after shutdown.

<< < (2/2)

I'm not sure how the led-wiz works as far as voltage supply, but you could pick up the +5v straight from the pc power supply, that way it would shut off when the computer does... Just an idea.

For XP check the following.

        1  Open the "Start" menu and click on "Run."
        2  Type "devmgmt.msc" and press the "OK" button.
        3  Open the "Universal Serial Bus controllers" section of the "Device Manager" window.
        4   Right-click on the first entry of the "USB Root Hub" list and select "Properties."
        5   Click the "Power Management" tab and check the check box next to "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power," then click the "OK" button.
        6    Repeat for each of the "USB Root Hub" entries present in the "Device Manager" list.

Some USB devices may not start up properly if the power is turned off to them and not restored in time when the computer is turned back on eg: USB hard drives etc.

Look for a jumper on your motherboard called USB standby power or something similar.  I think it's labeled +5VUSBSBPWR on my motherboard.  Basically, when jumpered one way, it keeps +5 volts to the usb ports even with the computer off.  When jumpered the other way, there's no power when the computer is off.

Incidentally, often there's a similar jumper for PS/2 keyboard power.  If you have a J-PAC plugged into a PS/2 port, then you want the +5 keyboard power jumper disabled too.

WOW! Solved! I found the jumper on my motherboard and by moving it the standby power to the USB ports was killed.

Thanks everybody for your help!
