FreeAgent Theater and GoFlexTV

After powering off the FAT+ successfully, it turns itself back on without anyone near the remote. Anyone else experienced this behavior?

Thanks,

Yes, I had this problem when I had multiple HD's plugged in, one in the dock, one on a cable....running f/w 1.26.... I upgraded to 1.27 and plugged in my AC adapter to the wall instead of my power-strip, and the problem has not happened since.

Not sure if it was a firmware bug, but I had numerous other problems related to "flaky" behavior of the FAT+ which have all gone away ever since I plugged it into the wall directly and re-seated the crazy "prong/plug adapter" on the transformer. I'm guessing the hardware does not have much low-voltage margin and was just running haywire when I short-changed it the power it needed via crummy contact on the adapter and having about 8 other things plugged into my power strip. 

...just my experience...

Is it possible that you've used another remote control that accidently turns on your FAT+?

My FIOS remote does just that, so I "store" the FAT+ remote in front of it so it blocks the IR receiver.

I hope this helps.

Thanks for the idea but no one is using the FAT+ or any other remote. The FAT+ is running "stand-alone" connected to a monitor with no other media hardware nearby.  The red remote LED on the FAT+ does not illuminate when it comes back on. I have disconnected the monitor and all USB devices including the FreeAgent drive and have updated the firmware to 1.27.

Is your FAT+ connected to a network? if connected, it might be a wake-up on LAN behavior. If not connected,

you might want to check the settings to see if both wired and wireless are disable.

The FAT+ is not on a network.

So it still turns on by iself even though you're not connecting it to any devices at all? or does it connect to a TV?

[autryld]

It normally connects to a monitor via HDMI to DVI cable but I disconnected it just to verify. Yes, it still powers itself on. Funny though, if I power back off immediately, it stays off. Inconvenient, but at least it's turned off.

Yes, I am experiencing the same problem. After turning off the FAT+ it turns itself on.

Anyone found a resolution to it yet ??

Thanks,

This behavior continued for a while then at some point I reset the box. Not to factory defaults, but just hit the button in back. It stopped doing it after that.
