      Hi everyone

      I'm runing out an issue with my retropie setup (last build). I've set up an on / off button, following this great tutorial (https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/14537/tutorial-adding-a-dedicated-on-off-switch/2). So far, everything's working well (all elements are brand new) ... but! Randomly, after some minutes (between 5 to 60), the Pi (3B+) is waking up I dont know how neither why. My set up is quite classic (USB: 1 Sandisk 128g, 1 PS3 controller / 1 audio jack / 1 HDMI plug / no BT ) and everything is well powered. The on / off button is a standard push button (https://www.smallcab.net/bouton-arcade-white-28mm-vissable-p-97.html) mounted with a lambda microswitch (https: //www.smallcab .net / micro-switch-48mm-p-124.html) on the GPIOs. I've already tested another power supply and another microswitch, with or without the PS3 controller plugged, same issue ...

      Any idea?

        Can you remove the HDMI cable after you shutdown and see if it makes a difference ?

          @mitu Thx for your support

          Believe me or not, my pi was off since something like an hour, and as I was approaching my monitor to try your idea and unplug the screen, the Pi just waked up! Not far to declare it possessed by evil spirits...
