   I found the trouble - connex were NOT OK - The ribbon cable   
   to thecharge level display had a broken edge trace for ground   
   connection.   
      
   MCU driven leds werepull-down. Charge display is pull-up.   
      
   I frankly didn't see any pulling-up going on at the TSP1116   
   output ports.   
      
   The 0/1 switch now works for both on and off functions.   
      
   Good enough for now.
