The eyes are on when the power is on. At this time bios does not have the option to control the eyes.

There are 2 lights on the side next to the power button. The bottom light blinks when plugged in and charging.

You can disable silent boot in the bios, press "del" when its booting =)

Also, am I the ONLY sentia owner that doesn't think the screen is blurry? Are you running 1400x1050 resolution?

My Sentia screen is sharp and I have no complaints. Adjusting the resolution on the far end of the settings from the native resolution like 640x480 is blurry though.

I should call support and have them look into it. :-)

Not sure what "dieng" is. Can you explain?

In another post, Tos described power off like the plug is pulled without the shutdown process. To me this seems like a loose connection in the power to the mobo.


Tos,
Is this something that happens when pressure is applied in certain areas of the case? Does moving the case while on trigger it?

I suggest calling AW Tech support to see if it is something they can point out to you and try on your own. I haven't gone that far in opening my Sentia.

it just happens randomly... there is no particular similarity between the incidents...

could be a lose power cord.. i guess i will open up the case today... but first, im gonna call aw and confirm i should do that..

thanks
