Ayman, hi.

This likely means that your power switch has become intermittent or "always on". There are some spray-in contact cleaners that may help.

A workaround is to just unplug from the battery connection. Related posts, which show external switches,

The external switch hack is easy to do, tutorial on the Adafruit site, link in the 'cracked' thread.
