Devo6 not powering off was created by andmiller
Just throwing this out to see if anyone else had/has this issue. I did the battery drain fix on my Devo6. Now it won't shut off via switch, I don't recall this happening after I did this, going to try some different thing in the software to see if there is any difference. I looked st the switch and it seems OK. I even tried unplugging the switch and shorting the connections on the board, no change. It turns on fine, but nothing happens on power-off, I have to unplug the battery. I can plug it back in while in the off position and it stays off. Any insight would be helpful.

Don't know if it gets you anywhere, but in PB's devo 8 hardware documentation (should be pretty close to the devo 6?) it says the following

STM32 Connections
GPIOA:
2: output to 0 to shut off Tx???
3: power-switch in 'off' position (goes high on 'off')

The switch only triggers the on/off process, it does not switch any current as normal switches do.
So it might be worn and a little off on its "off switching" position.
Try to move it SLOWLY to the OFF position to find this point.
If it does not help, you will have to swap it for a new one. The circuit seems to be working
because you are able to switch your transmitter ON.

I tried moving it slowly, and 'flicking' it down with my fingernail. As stated above, I also unplugged the switch and shorted the contacts for the off position with no results.

Now I am experiencing issues with the power on... Sometimes it take 10-12 times of switching before it powers on, other times the power LED just comes on for a second, then goes back off. Any other suggestions?

Now I am just getting a blue light when power is connected, only goes off when I unplug the battery. I think my 6 is dead... :(
