Of course you both could be imagining it!! ;)
I was just wondering if the batteries in the SRAM card itself were
fresh. That maybe if they were low power could be siphoned off of the
OGO. Does it do this when the unit is powered on, or only when it is
powered down and alarms? If so you may want to try toggling the
"touch screen to turn on" option to see if it makes a difference. This
might help narrow it to a software or power-drain problem.
The other thing that I can thin of is that under certain
circumstances the software was designed to "wake up" a peripheral or
such at a scheduled time.
