Buttons aren't working

Make sure the pads align up with the PCB

Buttons too hard to press

Elastomers might have slipped when closing the case. Make sure the wires aren't obstructing any of the pillars.

The D-Pad kinda works, like 2-3 of them do, but 1 or 2 don't

This is the toughest part of the project: you have to make sure that the d-pad is centered just right over the d-pad PCB and elastomers. Its not easy to get it lined up right but if it's off by a few mm you'll notice its hard to get the button to 'register'

Power randomly shuts down

Make sure the solder points on the charger and PowerBoost aren't loose.

Takes too long to fully charge battery

Make sure the lipo charger is shorted to charge at .5A

Enclosure won't close

Check that the wires aren't in the way of any of the pillars or buttons.
