Title: First build ever... Not working. Please help
Post by: Dagrylls on Tue, 15 June 2021, 01:04:05

So I just finished soldering on some cherry browns I harvested from an old broken keyboard onto a little case/PCB my coworker gave me. However, when I plug it in, I cannot type. It registers on my PC, I get the notice that a new keyboard is being set up from windows. But pressing keys does not register any input. Any ideas what I could do to fix this?

Soldering looks OK, but even if a couple of joints are bad or pads damaged from the desoldering (there are usually a couple) the rest should work.

What PCB is it?

This is the keyboard it came from.
