My 2210 did this, and I found the cause to be a dodgy USB connection in one
of the ports in my powered four way hub.
I switched to another port (a slave in the back of my separate keyboard),
and all is now well.
If you have a choice of USB ports, worth a try?

besides the other responses you have rec'd, it would be worth noting if
there are any particular apps running on the mornings you find it "awake",
some have reported that having windows media player open (even in the
background) can prevent the devise from powering off after the preset period
of time. other apps may be interfering as well. the next time you find it
powered on in the morning go into the running apps module and note was is
running, and then see if you can see a pattern.

I have already tried two of the six ports on the motherboard and currently
have it connected to a USB hub. But I had another computer a month ago and
it did the same there (no USB hub on that one). So it must be something
else.

The only app beside the default ones are Spb Pocket Plus.
Well....guess I have to ignore that fact that my iPAQ is on in the morning
once in a while.
