LEDWiz won't turn off in standby mode
« on: January 30, 2009, 08:20:31 pm »
Hey all,

Quick hardware question for you all.
When I go into Standby mode in Windows my LEDWiz freezes animation but is still powered.  I'd like to have the USB power turn off. 

Now, in another cab (in standy mode) the front USB connections are still powered but the motherboard USB's are turned off which tells me it's maybe a jumper or something.  I looked in the bios and nothing that I saw made sense.  Any ideas?

Thanks,
Beck

The device should be dropping to taking less then 2mA if it is to claim USB compliance. Sounds to me like its something overlooked in the programming of it.

In my experience, USB ports are always getting juice. I have a mouse with a red light in it... if it's plugged via USB, the red light is on even when the computer is shut down. If I plug it into the PS/2 port (with USB to PS/2 adapter) then the light turns off when computer is off.

On many motherboards, USB power in soft-off is configurable (either with jumpers, BIOS options, or a combination).  Some people like to have some or all of their ports set up to be powered in soft-off so that a USB keyboard can be used for wake-up.  Many name-brand PCs default to this because it's convenient for users.  However, the amount of power you can pull from the 5VSB line is limited, so running all your USB ports off this line (since it's usually run from that line even when the PC is on) can have some power limitations.

All USB devices are supposed to go very low power (2mA sounds right) when told to suspend.  The host is allowed to suspend them at any time, even when the system is otherwise in full-power mode.  Most hosts don't do this because it can be inconvenient, and there aren't major power concerns on desktops, anyway.  However, many many USB devices (perhaps even "most" of them) don't actually honor this requirement.  This is one of the many reasons why many "USB compatible" devices don't actually display the USB logo on their packages.

This should be able to be fixed with firmware.  Contact the manufacturer of the device.  It may simply be a configuration option.
