How do you shutdown the Pi ?

Hi Thankyou for responding.
I’ve shut down using Volumio‘shutdown’ and also just turned off at mains switch. Either way I have to ‘re-flash’ to get unit operational again.
It happens regardless of which image I use .
TIA

Seems to be an SD card issue, or maybe a reading issue.

Give a try to the SD card directly in the reader (maybe the extender is defective).

If it's exactly the same so it's an SD card issue.

Thanks for your response,
I’ve tried 3 sd cards16gb and three adapters and still the same results.
It’s annoying, but I have 3 sd cards so just pop another in and eventually reflash them all.
I thought maybe I was missing a procedure somehow.

You do it the right way but usually such problem is related to the SC card extender.

Just a thank you to David for your replies to my problem. I’ve now sorted it out . I believe the problem was with Balena etcher always failing the validation.
