    Hi Guys,
    I nearly always have my M17x plugged in. For some reason when I shut down the aliewnware head keeps glowing on & off as if its still charging. The battery though is fully charged. When I press the button underneath it states full charge and on the screen its fully charged.
    Any ideas on how to switch it off as its annoying when I'm trying to sleep and it keeps glowing.
    Cheers!
    Russ :)

    I had this issue once, then done hard reset (battery trick) + CMOS reset (to be sure) and this problem gone
