B and X button give same output

[Flavor]

I asked my colleague, Andrew, and he jumped to a different conclusion than I had.  I think he could very well be right.

But first, I want to re-iterate (especially for anyone else that comes across this thread) that we have this test document for the Pi Zero at
https://www.freeplaytech.com/wp-content/...cument.pdf
In there, it shows how you can test the connections using a tweezer (or something similar) to try to narrow down these sorts of issues.

As for your issue, Andrew thinks that it may be that you are using the rubber pad configuration and your "NORTH" hole is slightly off center.  That could cause the button press to contact the solder point for the clicky button configuration.  Here are a couple photos.  The first is just pointing at the potentially offending solder point.  The second shows it covered in kapton tape.  I think any tape would probably work for this.

       


P.S.  You have your speaker wires running around toward the battery compartment area.  This may work fine, but it may end up pinching those wires.  We recommend running the wires around the "outsize" of the PCB, as there's not really anything there to pinch them.
