Miscut holes

[penguins123]

Hello, first time poster here! I recently began my own try at the Gameboy Zero! Unfortunately I miss cut the X and Y holes (show below) along with the PCB I am using. I'm wondering will it work as is? Is there a fix to this? Or should I just scrap the case and retry on a new one?

Welcome!

It looks like there might be enough of the traces close to the middle that it could still work. It would be very easy to test though: connect some wires and hook up a multimeter, and you'll know very quickly whether or not they will work as-is. Good luck!

I accidentally did that too. Guess the paper template I used moved when I did the first hole. As wermy said, it'll probably work, just as mine but I couldn't stand the buttons being so much "off grid" so I ordered a new case since they're so cheap.

I would get a new case, I did the same with my first shell too. I printed my template 'to fit' rather than 'actual size' . Everything worked, it just really irritated me. so I had to get a new case, just bought one from ebay. This is what my first one looked like vs my second one.

Happened to me as well... I used a paper template that came with the controller PCB. I want to blame the template lol I was sure I was being careful when marking the hole placement. Anyway, controls still work fine on mine and it isn't too noticeable. It does bother me though lol

Thanks for the help everyone! Going to find the old Multimeter and give it a try!
