I've not tested this solution, but most likely it can easily be corrected by putting a small signal diode (e.g. 1N4148) across R711 (A500/A500+) or R611 (A600) with the cathode (stripe side) towards the 5V end of the said resistor, and the anode connected to the side of the resistor that connects to pin 2 of the 555 timer IC.
If it's doing that, but the time is much shorter than expected, then there's probably a problem with capacitor C712 (10µF).
