Would a bad hall effect sensor cause it to shut down and restart even when selecting the shutdown option from the main menu in retropie? I don't know how the image is written to use the hardware, so I'm not sure where to go to check beyond what I have put together at this point. It still plays games...

Here's a list of things I have done this morning so far: -Checked the config.txt file -Reflashed the SD card using Etcher and Win32DiskImager -Rechecked all pinouts with test pads and neighboring pins -Rechecked ground with all pinouts and test pads (the only connections to ground were the ones that...

So I dug into the config file and this is what it has for the poweroff and pin 14 setting:

gpio-poweroff,gpiopin=14,active_low="y"

That is also the last line of the config.txt file.

Correct, I charged it last night, but all shutdown attempts were on battery only. I found that out after reading about how it will stay turned on until the micro-usb power is removed. Which is pretty standard for Pi's in my experience, I've built a couple other RetroPi gaming consoles and a few medi...

Yes, I am using the fixed power board. Thank you for that by the way, your turnaround time is amazing!

Yes, I tested all pins for continuity beforehand and made sure that they all had good continuity with their respective test pads and no continuity with surrounding pads. Every pad had 1.5 ohms between it and the test pad, which is the same resistance that I have with the test leads directly touching...

Yes, and updating the image using the update option in the menu. I let it charge all night and then updated it again this morning and it is still doing the same thing. I don't think I have anything shorted out, everything is covered with Kapton tape to prevent shorting and such, and there isn't anyt...

I just got done building my MintyPi V3 (Yay! Super excited about it!) and it has a problem. It will not shutdown and remain shutdown when you close the lid or use the power off option in the menu. It will go through the shutdown process and then restart immediately with nothing being touched. It wil...
