Why would you change the trackpad and cable? I really want to understand the reasoning behind this.

Left shift is a separate key on pin 3 of the connector. Measure if it is pulled low when shift is pressed. I have a feeling left control and left option are also not working. Look at U4850 circuit and understand how this works.

because i wanted to make sure the trackpad/TPcable had no influence on this (yes they are separate on the board.so they should not)

U4850 question, when pressing Left shift, WS_LEFT_SHIFT_KBD goes low U4850 (wil send out signal on WS_LEFT_SHIFT_KEY (have not checked if this signal is high or low when not pressed/and pressed machine needs to get send out)
but if WS_LEFT_SHIFT_KBD goes low when pressed, and U4850 wont send out any change and U4850 does get PP3V42_G3H U4850 most likly is fucked

for this issue only WS_LEFT_SHIFT_KBD was affected
so U4850 was good, when pressing the button it did go low at 1 side of the board. other side did nothing.
