Title: Cube won't shut down

The setup: TurboDimension cube, no monitor connected to the motherboard port, third party colour monitor connected to the Dimension board cia a converter cable. Non-ADB soundbox, keyboard and mouse.

After I shut the cube down, it always immediately powers back up automatically. The only way to switch it off is to disconnect power after power down, which is normally only possible a second or so after the cube has started re-starting - which can't be a good thing.

Unfortunately, I'm on the road at the moment and not next to the cube to check the nvram settings, but as far as I can tell from the nvram settings I can find on the Internet, there is no setting such as "automatic restart after power failure".

Any idea what might be going on?

Wondering if it is getting that from the keyboard?  Like a bad power button that is always in on position or something.  Just an idea.  Maybe bad keyboard or soundbox since it is connected in the loop that eventually tells the Cube to turn on or off.

your clock battery is probably dead. stations have the same problem.
