First of all I apologise if this has been answered elsewhere, I looked but couldn't find anything on the topic.

- When using the provided accent LED pad on the NB the accent LED will remain on even when the board enters deep sleep - as expected and documented.
- When using the resistor pad hack, discussed in the user manual, the LED will *almost* go out when the board enters deep sleep but not completely, it's very dim and probably drawing a mA or so (I haven't measured it). I tried different LEDs and tester leads to bench test.

Of course inserting the kill plug cuts power completely so it's not a huge issue and I'm happy with that. I wondered if anyone else had experienced this behaviour?

Thanks to everyone here for their posts and assistance, it's been a great help!

That's how it works on the PC and CF as I recall.

That's all I needed to hear! Thanks FJK!

I used a tri-rebel on this build and the royal blue with red produces an excellent purple. I've been very happy with the NB - many thanks to Erv' and anyone involved in its inception.

Cheers guys!
