MintyPi V3 start button, whats the test pad

Post by apples1110 » Thu Nov 14, 2019 8:29 pm

So I finished my mintypi but when I press the start button it doesn't work, I was wondering if anyone would perhaps know the test pad so I can fix it

Redo your controls in the Retropie Menu, you might have to use keyboard to get into the menu or use a new fresh image flash. The only way physically Start is not working is if you had a bad soldering connection or had a broken or burned trace on the board from too much heat.

Also if you have a sharp needle nose iron tip and if you forced it down too you could have damaged the tiny via in the middle of the pad not making connection to the top. Another possibility is that Start and GND which are right near each other are shorted, do a continuity test between the 2 to see if they are bridged.
