OK, I connected the black wire back with the black wire directly, I then hooked both red wires to the side of the board facing the PSU. Again the power light stayed on in both ON and OFF position, but I could get power through the MINI USB.
I tried to rotate the red wires to different connects, and all that does is keep the red light on at all times, but with no power. This is freaking strange, the power switch worked fine when I had the Sony mother board in here. Why is something so simple so complex? I've soldered on a Dual POkey set up on my Atari 800XL with success but I can't do this?!?!
Not sure what you have going on here, however, If there is no ground "-" going to the switchboard then the power is going thru the LED to the Grounded Pi board. This will show no voltage on output. Disconnect the board and meter it.
The ground may not even goto thru the switch but needs to be connected. Usually the fattest trace is ground.
