Printrboard USB power SD print

So I got printrboard working printing from the SD card.
I can also disconnect from pronterface, but when I pull the USB, the printer stops.

I though it was possible to completely disconnect? Any jumper for the USB power that needs to be connected?

I tried googling, but couldnt find anything.

Cheers

D1 diode has to be soldered in for it to work!

D1 is already in place, are you saying that it has not been soldered yet?
When I connect the external power supply, the blue light still comes on, so I would expect that its still powering the board.

Make sure you disconnect whatever software you're using to control the bot before removing the USB connection.
