Recently put in new switches, now scroll wheel and switches wont work.
Hello, I recently wanted to change the switches of my Logitech GPW superlight. I did this before on a G703, and it all went smoothly. Just now, I tried turning on the mouse and plugging it in. It did turn on, and the cursor was moving as I moved the mouse. But the switches and scroll wheel did not work. I checked my soldering and it is touching the plates, when desoldering the switches I didn’t see any plate come off. I kept the heat of my soldering iron at 350 C the entire time, which is the same temperature I used on the g703, and I replugged all the cables inside the mouse. Can I have some help?
Is this a good question?
Also, Ive seen people use 370 C for the same mouse, There is some brown crusty things at the edges of the solder, but my dad said that is just flux residue.

Do you still have the old switches?

I think the problem has to do with the ribbon cable, it just doesn't go into the receptacle at the top PCB fully, I don't know why, it just doesn't.
