Auto power on

  jstrudwick

   Is there any way to disable the auto-power-on when power is applied to the
   USB? I have my C64 Mini attached to a TV USB port and I don't want it to
   boot up every time the TV is turned on. Maybe this could be a firmware
   option?

   I sure hope so. It seems very odd to have a system switch off but not on.

   When you switch off it does switch back on ...
   Just keep the button pressed a few seconds [2]:)

   I have the same problem, if the C64 mini is off, say I am using another
   computer, shut the computer off and then I shutoff the power strip off. If
   I turn the power strip on say the next day, the C64 Mini starts up.

   [3]KenS ZX Spectrum Vega is the same, it auto switches on when power is
   first sent to it.
   Easiest thing to do if your not using the C64 mini for a while is to bend
   down and pull the USB plug out or grab a power point with separate power
   on/off switches and flick them instead... [4];)

   [5]♿ For disabled users, you can buy power sockets that come with a remote
   control so you can switch each socket on/off individually. Not cheap but
   very handy! [6]👍

   A USB power switch is the way to go.

   There are USB cables you can buy, which have a off/on button built into
   the cable itself. They can be more easily found if you search Amazon or
   other online stores, for Raspberry Pi parts.

   I use a usb on/off switch on mine. You can get them from Ebay.
