Getting around the darn power switch lock-out feature: Does anyone out there know the best way to defeat, disable or remove the pesky switch cover?

I took the very tip of my right thumb off with a router so I am now all for safety features regardless of time involved. Do something like that and you may find you no longer complain about safety features.

Remove the bottom cover. There is a little slot on the top of the cover closest to the red power button.

The only way to disable it is to have it on the off position.. hope that helps

If you are referring to the cover- yes. I used a regular cover for this switch.

You can disconnect the power lead to them. See the wiring schematic that ships with it. I believe it will also disable the green also which indicates the switch is "on" which you may not want to do. If you stick one of the pictures that come with it over the light it isn't as bright. I'm not where the schematic is right now to actually look at it to be sure of the details.

I have the power cord attached to a surge protector and turn it off on the surge protector. Otherwise I don't think there is an on/off switch

There is no way to disable it without unplugging it because there is no button for it. I would'nt leave it plugged in 24/7 anyways because it could be hazardous. so I think thats your best option. Or try reading the manual to see if it says anything just in case.

I think this will work.....take the console off of it's base and unplug and replug it....hope this works its not the friendliest of applications.

There is only one power switch. You could pull the drives out just slightly, so they are disconnected, but that's not what you're looking for. I don't know if they have a product with the feature you're looking for.

Hi- I need to be able to do that! Ours is turning off after 30 min and we want it on all night. Not sure which switch does this.

Black electrical tape or a lead bypass may work wonders in eliminating this feature. ;)

Actually the top snaps off and on to give you access to the power switch. Pop it off, press the power button, then snap it back on.Be aware that you need to buy one with a long-enough power lead so as to be able to plug it into the wall directly. If you plug the PowerMyd into an extension cord, you void the warranty coverage for attached devices.Even with that, I do like the device overall. Looks good and works well.

There is a cover over the switch. Gently pry it off and you will see the real switch.

This question is pretty funny as I had the very same problem at first. Ended calling up Cobra about it and just before they told me how to do it, I found the answer in the manuals fist page ! LOL ! All you have to do is hold the power button down for five seconds as I remember. This will switch the display. :)

Unscrew the top of the dial where you switch the power on and off while holding it so it doesn't slide on. I use a large size Phillips screw driver.

Yes, the battery cover is locked when the device is locked, and cannot be removed
