PC3.5 Boot sound, no activation
So, I should start off by saying that I've had my entire setup wired together and it's all worked fine before -- I started rewiring it this time to set wire lengths to what they need to be for when it all goes in to my hilt. But I've got this issue, where I get a boot sound when I pull the kill key, but the card won't activate. I've tested both the switches and they're fine, I've checked the config files on the SD card and the switch setting is set to momentary (switch=2). I have no idea what the problem is here. Maybe I touched the board in the wrong spot? I don't see anything that looks blown or like it shorted out. Help me Obi-Wan Kenobi!

How did you check the switches? One of their legs go to the GND, other to the Switch pad of the board. Anyway, even if you configure it false, it should Show a reaction anyway when you push it too Long/not at all/shortly (depending on what the board is told the Switch Looks like).
The boot Sound AFAIK also Comes from the SD-Card, so I guess if the SD-Card is corrupted/wrong, the boot Sound would also not Play. Does it Play in Loop or only once?
But it's really strange that None of the Switches react. You could have accidentally tore one of the wires, but not multiple ones...
What if you take a Piece of wire and short GND to one of the Switch pads?

I checked them briefly with my multimeter -- I'll check them again tonight to be sure. That was my thought on the boot sound too, and I checked the SD card in my computer; Windows, at least, thinks it's fine. The boot sound just plays once, so the board seems to be booting correctly as far as I can tell. I haven't tried shorting the connections -- I'll try that tonight too.

I checked the switches again and they're both fine. I tried shorting the act->gnd connection and nothing happened.

Have you checked the override config file and did you make sure the switch setting is correct in that file as well?

"Yeah, yeah, I've heard it all before... you want blindingly bright, super loud, running 1138 blinkies off of the cheapest sound card you can find AND you want all of it to run on a battery the size of a dime, and run for a very, VERY long time. That one cracks me up every time..."
