5 seconds for that type of 'emergency' shutdown. Start - Shutdown works fine
and automatically kills power. I'd like to get the button working again. Its
not a big deal, but nobody even believes me that the power button functioned
this way.



Another thought is have you tried going into the bios and looking for power
optons? Usually there is a setting that allows for a delay in shutting down
when the power button is held down. I believe default is 5 seconds.
