A friend has a IIsi (80/5) problem: When Shut Down, the si restarts itself after a few seconds. It is definitely not being Restarted inadvertently as procedures specific to Shut Down are occuring. This is a new problem that began after the system was moved (packed in original boxes). When the computer is powered down and then up via the rear panel switch, the computer also starts itself. This seems to suggest a stuck PWR ON key (ext. keybd) but the keyboard restart key sequence (CMD-OPT-PWR ON) requires the latter key to be depressed.... Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

Take a look at the power on button on the back of the computer. There should be a notch in it that you can rotate 90 degrees with a screwdriver. Try turning it and see if that cures the problem. Apple added this feature so that one could set up a computer as a server and have it automatically turn itself on after a power failure. For more information check the manual. eric hjelmflt hjelmflt@symcom.math.uiuc.edu
