Hello!

I have a SplitKB Aurora Lily58 with NiceNanoV2s and it it has been running for a few months now. This morning the furthest left column of keys stopped outputting. (Default Keymap: Esc, Tab, Ctrl, Shift keys)

I tried power cycling, resetting, and flashing both sides first with the settings_reset.uf2 then the default keymap.

Took the back off and attempted to short the connection between the pads/switch, while I was able to successfully short all other keys and get an output there was no output from the first column.

Does anyone have any ideas if this is a hardware or software problem or any other tests I can try?

This sounds a lot like ESD has fried one of your data pins for your matrix. I've had this happen a few times this winter on my Xiao ble based keyboard. Twice, I cut the trace and bodged a wire from the trace on the PCB to an unused pin on the Xiao, then made a new firmware with the pin changed to match the bodged pin. Both times, that didn't last long before the whole Xiao died 😩

Oh no that's so sad, thank you for the help! I guess I'll have to use this as an excuse to look into a next project 😁

Hi both.
I was just searching for the same issue.

@verbal leaf , could you explain what you needed to do that? I have a board where pin11 has died and want to reroute to pin22. Do I copy over the Overlay and dtsi files for the shield and just modify 14 to 4 if i want pin 11 to become pin 22. Then just let github actions take the wheel from there?

If i understand right, zmk configs use the Pro Micro pin numbering so you have to convert between that and the mcu your actually using? In this case the Super Mini NRF52840-BLE.

Thanks for any help.
