Only my menu button works

I've been planning to return to using my old 5G 60GB iPod lately, so I've been slowly replacing some parts in it to make it work again. I've replaced the battery, my busted LCD screen, and the stock hard drive (swapped with an iFlash loaded with a 256GB SD card).

Everything was working fine up until after my first sync was done. Now the only buttons that seem to work are the Menu and Hold buttons, but strangely I am able to use the Select button to reset the iPod (but I am not able to get into diagnostic mode because the Rewind button doesn't work). It's stuck on the language selection menu now.

My question is - do I need to replace the click wheel assembly or the logic board? I was very careful not to mess with the click wheel when I pulled the iPod apart, and the ribbon cable looks intact. I can't fathom why it would work for a little while and then stop working just as I've loaded all my music on it.

Please help!
