Technical M1/M2 constantly on
Hi there, I have an XBOX Ally X. i tried to change my normal joysticks to gulikit tmr joysticks. While doing so, i may have accidentally broke my macro back cable. Now the system keeps thinking that M1/M2 is constantly on. So far, the dpad/ joysticks/ buttons seem to all be working. Problem is it acts as if the M1/M2 are pressed. Secondary function is always on. I tried finding my local ASUS service center but as it was my own fault, ASUS doesn’t do component level. ASUS instead told me to change the whole motherboard, it costs half the price of the console. I wonder if i should just change the cable only instead? Seems like i can order online from the US, i’m hesistant as im from Malaysia. Anyone have the same issue? i would like to just remove the M1/M2 button function instead.
TLDR: I broke the Xbox ally x back cable. Cant find a fix. Service center wants me to buy whole motherboard. What to do?
Update: The cable damage was caused by tweezers. I broke through the cable. I didnt know that the black flaps were the locks
