<div style="font-weight:bold;line-height:1.0;">
Q: How to disable '''auto power on'''?
</div>
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
A: When you connect an external power supply, the UPS board will automatically power on the Pi 5 motherboard while it starts charging, this feature is called '''auto power on''', considering that some customers need to disable this feature, so we have also disclosed the following solution to disable it: please use a soldering iron to remove the resistor indicated by the arrow in the illustration.
