There should be a script that runs that monitors the state of the power button. If it's held for a while, the script shuts down the Pi.
You can also shut down from the main menu, if I recall correctly. You may want to see if that works.
Also, if you are supplying power directly to the Pi, it may not shut down fully.
Did you ever install the Pi upside-down in the GPA? I think we found one that damaged a GPIO pin. I think it caused the power button to not work properly.
It was the image from the Google Drive.
The LCD does appear to be working correctly.
All buttons are working correctly though I did have some problems with the B button that have been fixed by resoldering.
I don't think I've installed it upside down at any point.
I did manage to find a quit screen in emulation station that correctly shutdown the machine.
Unfortunately without the power button I can't exit a game to get back to the main menu.
It seems odd that it powers on okay but not off. If I slide the button to the right it does seem to turn off eventually but it can take up to half an hour to detect it. So I'm not sure if that sounds like a bad soldering job or that the script is starved / not running.
I'm powering it using a battery (the correct type now).
I actually have another GPA board I could try but I'd like that as a last resort as I'll have to take the whole thing apart.
Many thanks again for your help, this little thing is awesome. So close to working 100%.
