Newly soldered in mouse switch not working
My right click on my Logitech G9x started having the double click problem, so i bought a soldering iron and a few new mouse switches to put in. I started with the left mouse switch, it took a while but eventually I got it replaced and it works and feels fantastic. After that, I replaced the right mouse switch and cannot get it to work. I’ve unsoldered and resoldered it and another new switch in a few times and have had no success. I’m wondering if maybe I damaged the pcb, even though I never applied the iron for more than a couple seconds and didn’t use more than 200 C. I’m also wondering if it is the solder I’m using. The solder came with the iron and is some cheap chinese 63/37. I think for the first mouse switch some old solder may have remained behind and formed the connection with the pcb. All the old solder was removed for the right mouse switch. So i was thinking about getting different solder. Here are some pictures of the pcb: https://imgur.com/a/lESeblT
Questa è una buona domanda?
that poor mouse, all of the pads that you are supposed to solder too have been ripped off and the only way to get it working again is to scrape away what is left of the trace and solder a jumper wire to it, i would recommend you then solder a piece of component leg to a different point on the pcb so the button has some support and wont break off because you completely destroyed the anker points
