Hello everyone,
I've wired up an NBv2 with power indicator (off during sleep) as per
11272
but the led dims instead of dies during deep sleep. Have any of you seen this before?

I had a similar issue. Check the following thread over on FX, Erv pointed out a different spot to solder to that worked for me and others:

use this spot to wire the power on indicator. This one should work and should allow the saber to reset properly when cycling the activation switch to get out of the deep sleep mode
it's not easy to access but next revision of the PCB will include a small pad for it

And another I just noticed from his Tips and Tricks thread:

An alternative wiring for a power on indicator that goes off when the Nano Biscotte enters deep sleep. I've enlarged the pad used for wiring the LED on the new version of the PCB that I'm ordering today but it works on the former NBv2 PCB, though it might be harder to solder.

I opted for the second option. I'm very happy to report a successful modification. Thanks again for your help.
