As long as you have the desk charger! The wall charger does not have the ability to connect Beo5 to a computer, as I found out the hard way!

Sorry if it feels I’m getting hung up on this, but I've not had it long and I'm fairly sure it worked correctly when I first got it and now I've noticed this it's annoying me! A little more detail may help, last night I played about a little to try and get to the bottom of this. So here goes. With the Beo5 sitting on the wall charger

Thanks for the reply, I have 2 boys and was trying to get them into the habit of picking up by the main body rather than the screen, which is when we noticed this happening. I agree that normally you would probably touch ball and screen as you pick it up so not a major issue, but could this be a sign of a problem I should raise with my dealer?

How is the Beo5 woken (turning on of screen and backlights) after it has been idle (off charge) for a short while? The reason I ask is that mine does not wake if I pick it up by touching only the metal body, but if I then touch the back of the screen with the other hand it comes to life. If I pick it up touching body and back of screen it works fine
