I noticed something odd last night when I popped my new NF7-S into my system. My matrix orbital LCD display lit up when I pugged my power cord in. I don't ever recall that happening on my old system and couldn't wait fire up the system. I have just shut it down and there it goes again still lit up.
Now that I have sat to think about it I figured out that the lcd display is pulling power from the USB port. I unplug the usb cord and sure enough the display goes off. Is this normal? I don't recall ever having a usb device draw power from a pc that was turned off before! Perhaps I just never noticed this before. Really my old rig was on almost 100% of the time but I gotta think this never happened. I mean I noticed it the INSTANT I plugged in my machine.
