GPIO Broken - cannot power - depower pins

Question

I got my pi2 this weekend and started experimenting. Now I tried adding LEDs to the GPIOs the way I know it from arduino and all the forums do it. Pin>LED>270 Ohm>GND I attached two: pin 17&27 (EDIT: Two separate LEDs, one to GPIO 17 and one to GPIO 27. The 17 one is always powered.) However I cannot control them (python and bash gpio / wirepi) and one is always on, even if the pi is shut down and the SD out.

EDIT: also the 3.3V doesn't appear to be powered, the 5V one workes however.

EDIT2: I am also using the black sainSmart 40pin T breakout

This is what gpio readall gives me right after boot:

Is the GPIO dead?

---

EDIT: Did some measurements, and determined a 0 resistance between GPIO 17 and the 5 V Pins. That might be the cause. So I guess it is dead.

Answer 1

Think you have GPIO 17 (on physical PIN 11) confused with PIN 17; also PIN 27 is not a ground but ID_SD. Ground pins are as follows 6, 9, 14, 20, 25, 30, 34, 39. Good luck!

Answer 2

Try To Access Pin's Using Shell Script

#!/bin/bash
#GPIO numbers should be from this list
#0, 1, 4, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 14, 15, 17, 18, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25

#Note that the GPIO numbers that you program here refer to the pins
#of the BCM2835 and *not* the numbers on the pin header. 
#So, if you want to activate GPIO7 on the header you should be 
#using GPIO4 in this script. Likewise if you want to activate GPIO0
#on the header you should be using GPIO17 here.

#Set up GPIO 4 and set to output:
echo "4" > /sys/class/gpio/export
echo "out" > /sys/class/gpio/gpio4/direction

#Set up GPIO 7 and set to input
echo "7" > /sys/class/gpio/export
echo "in" > /sys/class/gpio/gpio7/direction

#Write output
echo "1" > /sys/class/gpio/gpio4/value

#Read from input
cat /sys/class/gpio/gpio7/value 

#Clean up
echo "4" > /sys/class/gpio/unexport
echo "7" > /sys/class/gpio/unexport
