Sony HTG700 soundbar buttons not working.

[JakeShaw]

Remote inputs are great and functional, but after 2 mainboard swaps the buttons have stopped working altogether, seemingly. The remote is required to power on and reset, but no amount of messing with it has gotten anything to respond.

Checked plugs, everything is good, unhooked it and tried a different main, nothing. As everything else is functional I have no clue what else to do.

Even replaced the button board itself, still no response.

Thought I would give an update that there has been little progress. Shoulda kept the main board that for-sure functioned, had I known this was going to happen.

So I'm reordering the parts to try it again. Schematics aren't revealing anything interesting and the lands/wires moving power are looking fine so it has to be something between the main board and the keyboard. My suspicion was the OLED board but that hasn't solved anything as of yet. Going to do a full reorder or parts to see what went wrong.

The moment after I made my last post I got it to work. New version of the keyboard [9-301-003-96] worked just fine. No idea why this one worked, the previous one didn't, but the original one did. Possibly DOA.

Daily reminder to not be an idiot, I guess.
