After I did a pretty bad job soldering on a USB cable, in such a way as to allow me to power the Pi through the same USB that it sends data over (image attached), it refuses to boot properly. When I put in an SD, and power it (via the newly soldered cable), it starts flashing out 7 short blinks. According to https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentati ... lash-codes, this means "Kernel image not found", and the issue persists across multiple SD cards, readers, and flashers, which have been confirmed to work with Pis. Is it possible that during soldering I somehow fried some essential SD circuitry, and is there a good way to go about fixing/troubleshooting this?
