Turning off the PS3

Snake Plisken

OK just want to clarify if my PS3 is ok, I can turn on the console using the touch pad on the front of the console, but I cannot turn it off using it, I have to turn it off using the controller, is this supposed to be like this?

Thanks

Keep your finger on the feather touch power button for 2 secs (I think)..
When beeps once, take finger off.....should power off normally..

Nope doesn't work. Might be issue after upgrading the firmware

ye maybe even longer if youve had it on for a long time..like all day..doing loads on it..so give it a while itll flash..and then go to a steady red..

To be honest I have only turned mine off twice since I got it, when I don't use it I have folding@home running on it

i read somewhere (and it works for me) that you have to hold your finger on it for 5-10 seconds
