no nothing im pressing is doing anything

My theory is that there is a torn off solder joint on the ribbon cable that leads to the plug

#

Yeah might just be a bad clickwheel cable

i can send a picture if that would help

Just need a better focus on the cable joints if that’s okay lol

From the very little I got on google I’m going to take it they’re meant to be soldered

#

So I’d try and resolver those joints using a soldering iron

#

#

if it doesnt work ill see if i can find a replacement click wheel

#

thanks for the help
