I got and old kindle 8th gen (SY69JL) for free, 'cause it couldn't connect with any wireless network. I tried to do the bridge for popcorn hack as seen here (https://kindlemodding.org/jailbreaking/Legacy/Popcorn/KT3.html). Stupid as I'm, I used the 60w solder and I thing I ripped one of the pads. The damn thing doesn't turn up (not even the led) or shows at lsusb. Is this now just an e-waste? It gets a little warm when puggled on the usb.

Ok, thanks everyone! I cleaned up my mess and got it working again, but couldn't get it onSPD mode to jailbreak it. Does anyone know another test point where I can try it?
