The button
above the keyboard jack doesn't seem to function properly, it
lights up, but I can't turn the computer off using it, it simply resets it.
Are you running it as a Mac XL or as a Lisa? Again, this is a common
problem with the XL OS, and occurs on mine. Although not wise, I found
switching it off at the power supply was the only solution. It does seem
to work while booting up though - just not while in the OS. Note that it takes a while for the ProFile to reach
operating speed. Until
the red light is on solidly, do not start your Lisa - wait until you get a
solid light before turning it on. That should solve at least some of your
problems.
Yes, apparently it should even be given a little while after going solid.
I don't know for sure, as I've not powered it on with everything working
right yet.
