Disk will not power down. Has vanished from my computer, but router IDs it
My Etherdisk Mini (LaCie Ethernet Disk Mini Ser# DMUM-ZMNN-VKQQ-HDQK (8/2/08 @ Microcenter) SKU 301269U Ser# 1823851E9D) will not shut down. Hipserve Agent and Desktop Mirror cannot find it, and the icon cannnot be located on the network (Mac Os 10.4.11 or Os 10.3.9, in "Finder"), However, the IP address shows up on my Belkin router setup page as 192.168.2.4.
I had problems setting up the media player for iTunes and I left it alone for days. Suddenly the setup worked and iTunes connected. However, shortly after I closed iTunes, the drive started to malfunction.

Well according to LaCie's support when the power button is failing to work and the fan becoming inconsistent it is due to the power supply failing.
This is because the OS controls the power button and if it cannot boot fully because of a power problem, then functions of the drive are turned off, including the power button.
They are going to send me a new one.
