That is NOT correct ...
Whats not correct ? Did you even watch the youtube video i posted in previous post? Im not the only one having this issue and there is a good reason why is there a jumper in the first place.
Maybe you can force it to to Power-On with the jumper , and that might not be a bad choice.
You dont seem to understand. What i did is not "forcing it to power on". Its the ONLY WAY to make it power on after power loss.
Jumper is set to position 1-2 by default. Changing the BIOS setting does nothing. Setting the jumper to postion 2-3 powers on device as soon as the power is applied. At that point, BIOS setting is still doing nothing. Is that so difficult to accept or understand ?
But I have tested the power settings on my Qotoms , and it has been doing precisely what i told it to in the Bios.
And i absolutely believe what you said. Thats exactly what the problem is. You are talking about YOUR higher end device which is obviously not the same model as the cheapest device im talking about.
But when the Bios is "cleared" due to checksum error (bad battery) , and the default is to "Power Off" after powerfailure, then it is what it is doing.
I dont have any checksum errors, nor i have need to clear BIOS. As i said, this is brand new device. Not even month old.
I will exit from this discussion, as i thought you would be open for new info.
I dont know why are you taking this personally? Im very open to new info. Im just saying that MY device is not behaving same as YOUR device. This is cheap Celeron J series device, and you are having higher end i3/i5/i7 devices that are obviously designed differently.
But you just seems determined to "Bash Qotom" , and that is your choice.
i have absolutely no reason to bash Qotom or glorify any other brand. Im way too old for that, and this is just a cheap aluminium box that gets the job done. You need to accept the fact that this cheaper model is not built and designed the same way as the higher end Qotom devices you have.
Again, im not glorifying Protectli, but from chepest FW2 model to highest end FW6E model, BIOS is behaving the same. If the hardware feature is not on the board, there will be no setting(s) for it in the BIOS.
Obviously, thats not the case with Qotom. On the cheapest model that i have, there is a setting in the BIOS for a feature which is not BIOS controlled, but jumper controlled.
And then, there are higher end i5 and i7 models which YOU have, and they have this same setting that actually works as it should.
Thats called quality inconsistency. So what i said, are facts, not bashing.
I will just not participate longer.

Never get emotionally attached to a brand. Its just a cheap metal box. I have nothing against you or Qotom. I will continue to buy them and recommend them despite the issues i had with cheapest models. At the end, you get what you pay for.
