4X4 button pad error..

Ok guys… so I am one of many making a sparkfun RGB monome. I am having a problem with the button breakout board and I dunno what is wrong.

I put everything together… and all but one of the boards has this issue. I am using an actual monome logic board at this time just to get it running before I setup an arduino based one for RGB. I wanted to test each 4x4 seperatly so I plugged in JUST the red LEDs to the monome logic board, and this is what I get…

The really weird thing is… I started unplugging things to find out where the error is… and the boards stay like this with JUST the switch ground and the LED grounds plugged in! So just to edge of the PCB with the two connectors are connected, and the board stays like this…

I looked all over the boards and cant find and solder traces that are jumped… Two of the boards do the 3 LEDs and one of the boards does NINE LEDS lit in blue… I dont even have the Blue anodes connected lol

Please help… I have been soldering forever it seems like and was so sad when it went like this.

Also, this morning, I took one of the boards that had 3 LEDs lit, and switched out the LEDs thinking there could be something wrong with them… nope, it still has the same issue :frowning:

Should I move this to the “Projects” forum? I didbnt know where to put it and it isnt getting much interest here lol
