With these buttons:

Hi
If you have no lights that tends to imply a faulty connection… and very unlikely to be a software problem so it’s just a process of elimination!
Can you try another USB socket and/or another PC just to see if you get any connectivity and light..
Then I guess it will be checking the USB cable itself with a multimeter to make sure you have connections to all four wires, and the connection plug has no breaks/loose bits.
Also check the socket on the board … make sure it’s not loose/broken
Beyond that you are into detail circuit checking…
If all else fails you may be spending another $10 for a replacement encoder:(

Good Luck

I was never able to get this working properly- but instead I used Antimicro to run the button mapping for me.
