I got a Raspberry Pi 1 B+, 2014 v1.2 board, and I was trying to attach it to Waveshare's Game hat
The main issue which I have is, the raspberry board has 4 dead GPIO pins (tested using pigpio), 10,11,25 and 26. Pin 10, 11 and 25 are not in use by Game hat, as per the Game hat manual, here
Everything is working fine with the hat, but some keys are not working which may be due to the dead GPIO pin no.25 which is ground pin and it is used by Game hat.
Now the question is, that the dead GPIO pin 25 is a ground pin, and it is used by the Game hat, can I connect the pin 25 with any other ground pin (using a wire), for example, 6, 9, 14? Will it work? I think that every ground pin is basically the same, connected to a single ground, so sharing or connecting to each other might not be an issue?
