Bottom row on left half not working
I recently got a corne and while the left half was plugged in, the bottom row stopped working. I tried re-flashing and it still doesn't work.
It seems like this is a somewhat common issue since I've seen others with the same problem. I'm using the premium aluminum case and no-solder nanos. Is there anything I can do to fix or do I just need to get a new nano? Thanks!

It sounds like you're experiencing a common issue that often relates to hardware, particularly with the soldering or connections. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot the bottom row not working on your left half:
1. Check the Solder Joints: Since you're using no-solder nanos, ensure that the headers are properly seated in the PCB. If any pins are not making contact, it could cause the row to fail.
2. Inspect the Switches: If you're using hotswap sockets, check if the switches in the bottom row are properly seated. Remove them and inspect the pins for any bending.
3. Check for Shorts: Use a multimeter to check for any shorts between the pins on the nice!nano and the PCB. A short could prevent the row from functioning.
4. Re-flash the Firmware: Although you've already re-flashed, ensure you're using the correct firmware for your configuration. Sometimes, a mismatch can cause issues.
5. Test with Another Nano: If possible, try swapping the nice!nano with another one to see if the issue persists. This can help determine if the nano is faulty.
If you've gone through these steps and the issue remains unresolved, it may be worth reaching out for further assistance or considering a replacement for the nice!nano. Let me know if you need more help!
I'm guessing this is an ESD issue similar to here. I've gone through two nice!nano's now on my left side due to this issue so now I'm just going to wait until they finish developing a more robust fix. I know they're actively working on it.
