If the blue light is remaining on possibly something else may be on. In any case, it must be pulling a load from the battery.
The green test light on the OPUS indicates all is well. Steady on when the puter is on. 1 flashes every 2.5 seconds as it is in standby state after the puter shuts down. This stays flashing for a little while and then stops.
The USB blue light stays on.
Anybody have an answer?
I will email Kris at OPUS but was hoping for an answer tonight.
Thanks,
Gary
Got the now obvious answer from Kris:
SFX-1215 maintains the standby power at all times as specified in ATX specifications. One way to get around this problem is to power the hub from +5V main supply that is available on the drive power connector.
I start using the brain next year,
