You mean one of those little flash drives? I haven't had a problem with the braille plus when I've used one. It shuts down fine. Have you removed the USB stick and shut it down to see if it still turns itself on? If so, you might need to remove the battery for a little while and put it back in. That's how I get mine to stop turning itself on and off repeatedly.
