Left analog stick not working even after the board replacement

Hi all, I recently bought a PS Vita 2000 and everything was working fine until I decided to open it up and clean it. After cleaning, my left analog stopped working (everything else works). I tried to identify the problem and did the following:

Plugged in Left analog to the right board -> works
Plugged in Right analog to the left board -> not working
Switched L and R analog in the settings (to rule out software issues) -> works
Bought replacement board (USL-1001) on ebay and the same problem persist.

Is it possible that am just an unlucky guy whose replacement USL-1001 is also bad or is there something else that might be wrong. I think the analog is okay since it works perfectly once its plugged in as a right analog. Any help would be appreciated!

Your troubleshooting and logic seems correct. If neither analog works in left side and both work in right side, it must be the board.

Since it is a used board, and the issue is the same it is likely also bad.

HOWEVER, since it stopped after cleaning, it might be, if cleaning involved a disassemble, that something was left out of the reassemble and caused a short circuit which is also affecting the replacement board.

Hi Bill, I think the replacement part is new (just not OEM). Cleaning did involve full disassembly, therefore your theory definitely stands.

However, reassemble is fairly simple, with only 3 ribbon cables (analog connecting to the left board, power cable connecting the main board with left board) and L1 ribbon).

Any idea what could be causing the short since it's definitely weird that only the analog is affected. I am planning on buying a multimeter to check the components and voltage.

I would recheck the cables. Just a little skew might cause a problem. Also, the problem is not necessarily a short, though many people use that term as a catchall. There might be something wrong with that T cable.
