I just got the 1.25GHz Mini set up last night. Everything's going great except it does not want to go to sleep!
Literally: when I choose the "SLEEP" option, the little LED light stays constantly on, and I think I can still feel the fan inside going. Not the Blinking LED I was expecting after reading the manual. The light on the USB Mouse also is on, which further alarmed me that the Mini has not gone to sleep yet.
How long does it take to go into the sleep mode (blinking)? I was expecting within half a minute at most, but it was five minutes or more and still no blinking/sleeping. Finally I just shut it down by holding the power button for 5 seconds.
Other things attached to the Mini, just in case they matter: Dell LCD 1905FP monitor, Seagate 200GB Ext HD, Apple keyboard, Kensington USB mouse, Canon 9000S photo printer, and flash memory card reader. All powered equipment were turned off at the time I tried to make the Mini go to sleep.
Thanks for your advice.
