Hacking SX Lite install issue

SparkyX1 · Sep 26, 2020

Hello all,

I have recently installed a SX Lite on my Switch lite and all is working well aside from the right button on my D-Pad (other three directions work fine). Is anyone familiar if this can be caused by a potentially bent "power" (as referred to by installation manual) ribbon cable, or would it be more likely to be from soldering? I am certainly not new to soldering and I verified the work a few times with macro-photography, but who knows. If anyone else has had this issue please let me know. Thanks!

Inspect the cap on the line with blue point in last picture,if is present and not damaged, you can use a wire to connect blue point on top sec mb, to the blue point on main mb .

I don't see any damage to the cap, unfortunately my multimeter/tester is not the best right now so haven't been able to actually test it (my good one got stolen). I just ordered a new set of ribbon cables I found for cheap and if they don't work, I'll try connecting the test points with some wire. Might be a month or more for shipping though. Thanks!
