[Solved] DPad-right not registering

[demitar]

UPS walked in with a package not long ago. And yes, the content is awesome. ^^


The one issue I have though is that on the DPad it doesn't register going to the right. I can feel/hear the keymat being squished much more than normal, so possibly it's misaligned or something similar to the issues with some plastic from the mold being left. (Also feel something similar but not as much with DPad-down, that however registers properly.)


Now, the question is this: Is this something I can easily have a look at myself? (Read elsewhere that the dpad might be a bit trickier to access.)

You will have to take the face off, which will void your warranty. Mostly this problem seems to be caused by a bit of extra moulding that needs to be trimmed.

What happens in the input test? Does it work at all in that? It would have been unlikely it could have been flashed here without working at some point (the Dpad is used to test the speakers).


Could you try it and let me know?

Funny thing: when i got my pandora, DPad-Right wasn't perfect (it did register but it had a funny behaviour)


It sounded like a tolerance issue (some squeek when you pushed it) so i tought it'd go away with ussage, and after a couple of levels of Sonic it DID indeed go away, now it's a perfect DPad

Good news, turns out I have to hold the right arrow down for just a little while before it registers. (Can press it multiple times in a row without a single hit.)


Thus it's probably just the same issue others have reported and should hopefully disappear with a little use.


So, time for some Sonic it seems. ^^

Hello everyone!


Long time lurker here.


I just received my Pandora earlier today and it is awesome, great job OP team!


However, I do have the same problem only mine is with the left side of the d-pad. I did try to break it in for the last hour but it is still not working. I can only register a input if I press left on the d-pad with force.


Help! >.<
