Cannot power down

[Kishen Gopinath]

Just bought the serial 5 - can't seem to power down - I hold down the little button for 10 secods, and release when the green LED turns off, but a couple of seconds later, the blue led blinks and the green LED turns back on again

Please advise

Thanks

Kishen.

You need to unplug the charger cable.
When on charger the processor always runs since the charger electronic is controlled by the processor.

OK I show you a bit more.
The button is controlled by the BASIC code.
Shutdown is a piece of code that looks like that:
After you get the button interrupt in your code it does

0 REM long press power down
172 ALARM 0;
0 REM wait until button release
173 A = pioclr 9;
0 REM LED off
174 A = pioclr 20;
175 A = pioget 17;
176 IF A = 1 THEN 175;
177 W = 3
178 A = reboot

0 REM wait for reboot to happen
180 FOR E = 0 TO 20
181   WAIT 1
182 NEXT E
183 RETURN

This isn't working for me either. The 5x is not connected to the charger, but after holding for 10 seconds and releasing the button when the green light goes off, after a few seconds the blue light appears again and then the green light comes back on. It won't stay powered off.
