Tm cougar secondary trigger shows as button 5 after short ( and other issues)

[trigen]

Hello

 

Thought id ask here and see if anyone has had any experience with this.

 

Thing is, ive been a bit unlucky and cut a wire on my cougar when closing the handle after a mod.

Now after reconnecting it the NWS button no longer works and secondary trigger shows up as number 5. There's also some issue with hats that triggers 2 buttons at once and 7-9 has become 10-8. Seems the matrix or something has been screwed up.

 

Ive check all wires for short and tested the NWS button and it works fine. I cant find anything and the pcb looks perfectly fine. Tried wiping the firmware and updated it again but it dont help. So im really at a loss on what to do.

 

Solved, eventually found a short hidden deep within..

 

Turns out it wasn't that easy. Same issue came back and the strange thing is that everything works fine if I disconnect the brown wire that connect the stick to the Base. I would think that's a ground or a minus but I really have no idea. It shouldn't work at all as I see it. Any ideas?

 

Most likely it's the pcb as I've removed every cable except the Base connection, triple checked for any short, apart from stripping the whole wire
