[QUOTE="JoshJ, post: 1659057, member: 282115"] Hey guys. There seem to be a few different opinions coming up on this post. Regarding you comments on experience with USB; am I meant to take it that if USB continues to charge a kindle whilst mac is asleep, so will the TB ports continue to provide power? Or might power be shut down from the different types of ports, independently? (eg power withheld from usb but NOT from TB) Are there any tests I might be able to do to check whether there is definitely any power running through the TB cable once the mac is asleep? (maybe by testing an exposed part of the cable connector using a voltage detector?[URL='http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00AXN6IPU/']COLT® AC Voltage Detector 90V~1000V Tester Pen Stick Probe: Amazon.co.uk: DIY & Tools[/url] Alternatively, do you think I might be able to get a conclusive answer from apple support or from a genius on this matter?
