    I have the feeling that the internal zenner diodes will keep your lower side of the resistor to 5V+ even if you force it in input mode so the transistor will never turn OFF completely. Playing with the two resistors values will only get you a reliable ON status of the transistor but never fully OFF.

    Regards,

    Those internal one are not zener, but regular one.. fluffy but regular. Anyways, forget that, it was a really bad idea

    It's not a bug, it's a random feature.
    There's no problem, only learning opportunities.
