Re: So...
Power could be left on 24/7, but even in that unlikely event the aircraft would still be powered down eventually for scheduled maintenance. So to encounter this in the real world you need an operator who basically doesn't operate his aircraft, such that it doesn't need maintenance for 8 months, yet still leaves it powered up continuously. The fact that 787s have been in service for three and a half years now, and more than 250 of them are flying without this fault being encountered, shows how improbable this is. Of course it needs fixing - continually eliminating risk is how aviation has become as safe as it is - but in practice this one is no big deal.
