    ESPECIALLY tv as they can just catch on fire randomly its scary
    LOL - well I've never had a TV explode on me! We don't turn ours off at the wall - it's too hard to move the TV cabinet to get back there!

    we turn it off on the switch not at wall due to also not being able to get to main plug

    Sometimes I do, but the time is so easy to set and for some reason there are very limited power plugs in this kitchen (energy efficient? LOL) so I mainly turn it off so I can use the plug. I don't think that would have an effect on the touch pad though, I think some things get a bit tempremental (sp?) over time. My phone gets like that sometimes!

    i never turn them at the power point . often when you turn them back you can short the computer pad out , cost heaps to repair the touch pads .

    We leave ours plugged in and the touch pad's gone a bit inaccurate...you have to press slightly above 'start' to start, and slightly below 'clear' to stop. Weird.
