I just got a VEO 180 and did the setup of time/date etc, etc. How do you turn this PC off?? Does it just shut down automatically after some time??

You have to wait it out. Any reason you want to go back to diagnostics?
It is a good computer, the inability to turn it off is frustrating but makes it idiot proof. After you dive, it will stay on for 24hours just in case you do another dive. In either case, it is sitting in a low power mode and does not place much of a load on the battery.

Well, I held the button down for 2 seconds during the initial 9-0 count down, instead of when it started scrolling through the modes, so that I could enter into the Setup Mode. Well at one point I ended up getting a screen that said I think "B5L" or something like that, 3 characters, and it ultimately shut off and I restarted the PC. I was wondering if I somehow screwed it up. Now I fully understand how to enter the modes and I am anxious to restart the watch to scroll through the diagnostics mode to hopefully have a clean checkout diagnostically.

Mine does a similar thing, if you hold the button down on start up, it runs through the diags, then displays some code numbers. Once you release it goes off. This appears to be normal.
Correct, that's also how you find out the SW revision and the serial number if there's ever a recall.
