Transformers can have surface voltage left in them until the load pulls it down low enough to where the device completely loses power. You may see on some devices when you unplug the lights may remain on for a short duration. Boards also have capacitors which act as a battery and also need a little time to drain.
* You are told to turn a device off and on to clear its memory and allow it to start fresh from a default state.
* Power supplies contain capacitors to “clean up” and smooth out the electricity supplied to electronic devices. Microcontrollers and other components have further capacitors for the same purpose.
* Capacitors store energy, and will release it even after the power supply is turned off. This may partially power some memory and cause old data to be stored.
* Therefore you are told to leave the device off for 10 seconds to allow all the energy to discharge, to allow all memory to clear for a full reset.
