Hard Disk useless activity on GT Combo

Post by AtomiXvap »

I have the problem that my GTCombo, even when turned off, continues to power the hard disk and over time the non-productive activity involves an unnecessary consumption of electricity, the hard disk in fact is always hot due to the activity.

Try changing The Powerkey definition. It could be set to Stanby. Go to Settings /Droid Settings/ Powerkey Definition and change to Shutdown and see if power is cutted.

Yes, by changing that setting the hard disk stops at shutdown, but in both cases it blinks continuously even when the Combo is on, as if it was doing an eternal scan for multimedia files.
I could easily get around this by unplugging the hard drive when it's not needed but it would be nice to be able to fix it without always having to remember to unplug the drive.

Does the hdd have external power supply?
when you plug in the hdd,the box hangs up immediately, or other operations are still needed
