The comments about the capacitors discharging are true, but it’s always been funny to me that your tech support would tell you the power stuff off for a full minute, sometimes 5 minutes – they just know most people don’t have a concept of what 20 seconds is or that they will just popped the plug out and right back in and tell them that they waited 5 to 10 seconds.
