Only power button, volume buttons, and touch screen work.

Only the power button, volume buttons, and touch screen work on my Steam deck. Furthermore, there is no longer a chime on startup. This was after I installed a shell replacement. In the past I have successfully completed an SSD replacement as well but I have had no issues until after completing the shell replacement and turning on my Steam Deck. I have gone and double checked all of the ribbon cable connections but still no luck. The Steam Deck still turns on and I can navigate on it with the touch screen or by using an external keyboard. Is there a specific cable that could be causing these issue? Could it be that the trackpad no longer works as I heard that the trackpad is what makes the chime noise? Thank you.

It was the ribbon cable behind the motherboard next to the LCD cable.

Hey I'm having this same issue and replugging that cable fixed my audio but my other buttons still don't work.

Any idea why?

Since it stopped working after you installed the shell, I would suggest uninstalling it, then reinstalling it to see what you missed.
