Hey,

I lifted the silver circle pad (as you can see on this picture ) and now the escape key doesn't function on my Pok3r.
I read something to solder a copper wire to the pin of the switch on one end and the other end to the metal that the the silver circle was connected to.

Can someone tell me where I should solder the other end of the wire?

Here are two pictures of the current status:



Please ignore the soldering, I know it's miserable and I'm going to desolder/solder it better and practice a lot more before I finish this project..
As you can see I already soldered a wire to the pin, I just need to know where I need to solder that wire..

It was a lot of work for me as a solder noob and I really want to save this PCB and escape key.

I really hope that you can help me out!

Best Regards

Please take a pic of the affected PCB area with proper focus ...

The pics you posted here give me a headache for so many reasons

Can't change the first picture but I uploaded a better picture for the second picture.

I am not an expert at Pok3r PCB but it kinda looks like the trace for that pad is on the other side of the PCB ...

Oh no...

Someone sent me the Matrix of the Pok3r, but as a noob I don't have much idea about that.

I took a picture of the whole right side of the PCB http://i.imgur.com/axdBNgO.jpg.

He said that it would go from the right pin of the right ctrl (as looking from the back with the ESC in the right corner) or otherwise it would go to the controller. But I don't understand that much what he means..

Try shorting your messed up pin with the identical pin of the TAB switch ...

Didn't work..

EDIT: Fixed it. Thanks a lot to Wodan!
