I have set the buzzer and backlight to Disable, over an hour ago and have manually updated the project in BOINC, but the setting do not take. The sensor still buzzes away and the light is on. I had a look in "sensors_1.69.xml" file and they are all set to 1, which I assume is on.
Sensor number is 88
Use CPU
Enforced by version 6.10+ yes
Sensor settings:
Buzzer Disabled
Backlight Disabled
LCD update frequency Default/35s
I'm experimenting Disabled
Runtime 2 hour(s)
Application/Sensor debug Disabled
Please advise how to stop the buzzer ??

IIRC those settings update only when a new task starts. Try aborting the current task to force a new task. I purposely killed my buzzer permanently by putting 2 drops of epoxy in the annoying little bugger's mouth.

The thing is it clicks by default so it will start clicking again if you powerdown and reboot and it will continue to click until BOINC starts and the R@H app reads the project prefs and turns it off again. If BOINC doesn't start then it just continues clicking. They should put a manual switch on the board to turn it off, even a jumper would be good enough and it's cheap.

There was a development version of software for the 2.5 series which actually stored the settings and read them on restart, I think it wasn't released because of code size problems.
Perhaps it will be implemented in the v3 sensors, their firmware is upgradeable however I'm not sure yet if the upgrade will require external programmer.
The side effect is that the sensor can be used as alarm for those who run their PCs 24/7, if you hear the sensor beeping it means something is wrong :-D
