[Bug 43961] Re: Power down after shutdown does not work...

[magicwind]

I have found a solution which works(at least yesterday and today) on my laptop.
My laptop is BenQ S73 with intel centrino duo T2050 and ATIx1600.  I installed Ubuntu Feisty.
I found that before shutdown, remove the pcmcia module as follows:

#sudo rmmod pcmcia

Then the computer COULD turn off the power.
I don't know the exact reason, and I have called the manufacturer.  They said that my has PCI express slot INSTEAD OF pcmcia slot.
So, for some not-so-old computers, maybe it is worth having a try.
