Ah volume rocker :) ok so luckily for you, that pad isn't connected to anything! It's just there to physically support the switch.. so you could scrape away a bit of the black stuff and solder to that to give a little support..

The reason the rocker isn't working is because you haven't soldered one of those solder jumpers! You should solder bridge the MIDDLE pad (of the three) to the one closest to "AL1" , and the same for the other one of three to "AL2" and it'll now work :)
Oh what?! That is pretty simple. I didn't see that in any of the documentation. Is this what you mean?

Yes 100% correct :) as I said before the missing pad is just for physical support only. Yeah admittingly I haven't put it in the docs.. some areas of docs are a little bare, I'm wary that already some bits are confusing and adding too much may be a bit hard to navigate but it needs to be there! Good news is on the most recent boards I've just got rid of it completely and it's hard wired in by default.. should have been that way to begin with!

Oh wow, thats great news for the new boards. Even having just the pads there is really easy to bridge them together. It works now with no problems. Thank you so much for taking your time to help I really appreciate it :)
