I've been building a qaz and stuck with my keyboard not working for a few days, I de-soldered the micro controller and double checked it and it worked fine. Put it back on the board and it just heats up and does nothing. Doing that there was a short and found it was one diode I soldered in that was to blame, you can see it hanging out right now in the middle of the picture. I ended up soldering it in since the instructions said to solder diodes in with an orientation based on the square pads. Well little did I know that that set of pins is a debug header and not for Diodes, the original design of the board even has markings for that but no they had to remove the useful information.

And what about everything you learned solving this. That's what we keep long after the keeb itself.
