1. No wells in the neighborhood, with or without, little girls standing next to them. A couple of street lights with hookers under them, but no wells.

2. It's the other way around, a dark screen and then a fuzzy ring.

3. Yes. All it said was red rum. I just chalked it up to poor demographic research by an overzealous liquor marketer. I'm a beer drinker, and the occasionally shot of whiskey, but never been into rum no matter what color it is.

4. No, just this thing called the Merciless Pepper of Quetzlzacatenango. Had the most confounding talk with this wolf that sounded eerily like Johnny Cash. Kept flapping his snout about finding my soulmate.

It's this bit with just out of the clear blue turning itself on, or after I turn it off it goes it turns itself right back on, that has me baffled.
Yea, not sure about the random turn-ons, but if heating is an issue it might be because of whatever entertainment setup you have. Mine is a fancy unit with glass shelves and an open front/back so it helps for air flow. But some of the wooden units could be more problematic.

In a case of, to quote Simon Pegg from Hott Fuzz, brain wave, I think I've just found the ghost that was causing that random start up issue. When it first happened I had what I consider my "primary" controller hooked to the console. Well it was damn near dead, that was why I plugged it in. The backup was dead when I plugged it in and had the same issues, and therein lies the ghost I think.

If you have a controller that's dead or very close to it plugged in the system may force itself to stay on to recharge, at least until it gets to a certain level of charge. See here's the thing, I've never done that before, I've always put them on the charging stand. When the primary died I was planning to keep playing so I plugged it in while I kept going. Only thing was a couple of minutes later I decided I was going to stop for the night and just left it plugged in out of laziness.

The backup is usually always charged and ready just in case, but I had to move the stand a couple of days ago and forgot to plug it in. So when I went to plug in earlier it was dead too. Now I've had that backup plugged in for the last couple of hours, I shut the system down about a half hour ago, and no phantom start ups. I never connected those dots until just now.

You truly do learn something new everyday.

You sure your GF/wife/partner is not doing this to you?

As much time as I spend hanging out on this forum you actually think I have a GF/wife/partner?

If it was anybody else I ask for the secret to his success.
