      just like in the last thread about this my switch works just fine to turn it on but when I try to switch it off thge indicator light starts blinking but it never powers down. Ive tried changing the custom powerdown code to a few difernt things with no changes.
      please tell me some one out there can help!! this is a month in the working biurthday gift for my brother...TOMORROW!!! lol
      pre-thanks!

      also I have the latest drivers installed as I did a fresh install of everything a few days ago.

          lol thanks, but I already posted on that one too saying that it didn't work for me. :(
          Ive tried 2 differnt RPi3s and 3 differnte images and about a million differnt combos of fresh installs with those 2 RPis and images, one of withch was a stock Retropie image. Im sooo ready to get this bday gift done!!!
          here i was thinking the CB was going to be as simple as pluging everything up and running a few scripts...nope!
          lol

            Can you post the output of the quick installation commands from https://github.com/petrockblog/ControlBlockService2#quick-installation here, please?
            There is also a video that shows the "good case" installation.
