Left side not working
My left side stopped working maybe a month ago. I recently bought a new PCB for it as I couldn't get it working. I'm still having this issue of the left side not working. Not sure where to go from here.

If your left side is not working even after replacing the PCB, there are a few troubleshooting steps you can take to identify the issue:
1. Check Power: Ensure that the power switch is turned on. You should see the blue LED blink when pressing the reset button, indicating that the nice!nano is receiving power.
2. Verify Connections: Make sure that all connections, especially the battery and nice!nano, are secure. If the battery is not connected properly, the keyboard will not function.
3. Enter Bootloader: Try entering the bootloader by double-tapping the reset button on the nice!nano. If you can't enter the bootloader, try using a different USB cable or device.
4. Inspect Solder Joints: Since the left side is controlled by the nice!nano, check the solder joints on the nice!nano and the PCB. Look for any cold solder joints or shorts between pins.
5. Check for Shorts: Use a multimeter in continuity mode to check for shorts between pins on the nice!nano. Ensure that no pins are connected when they shouldn't be.
6. Firmware Issues: If the hardware seems fine, consider re-flashing the firmware. Follow the steps to install the firmware on the nice!nano to ensure it's up to date.
7. Split Halves Connection: If you're using a split keyboard, ensure that the right half is powered on and connected properly, as the left half communicates with the right half.
If you've gone through these steps and the left side is still not working, it may be helpful to refer to the troubleshooting guide for more detailed steps or to check for any specific issues related to your setup.
I can enter the bootloader and I reflashed both sides. I guess I'll get a multi meter and try to see if there's a short somewhere, despite getting a new PCB, but my niceview on the left is showing my wpm from the right side.
