Hi guys I have a steel series 6gv2 its over 10 years old. Finally one key stopped working, I tried two new switches even used a switch from another key but no go.. Not sure what I'm doing wrong the circuit path looks ok, I didn't use any flux but there's some in the solder core etc.. Any suggestions please!

Yeah, in the last three weeks that "fix" I did failed again, but it was a steel plate and I had a spare RP2040 clone lying around around, so yadda yadda yadda, now I have a handwired, fully customizable 1800 keyboard with random red switches and zero LEDs of any kind (even capslock). My beloved Box Navies and 90+ slightly jacked-up hotswap sockets are now waiting for another project.
