Before you ask, I have backed up my drive key and information, etc before attempting the kamikaze unlock, just incase I managed to brick my drive

Well I was doing the kamikaze method and I was using the soldering iron on the marked spot on the chip. I was doing it really slowly and carefully too. Eventually, JungleFlasher say's that the drive has SPI status 0x00 and that the drive is unlocked. And then a second later it says drive is not detected. So I press Intro Device ID and it says Status 0x80 and it says to power cycle. So I do that, but it still says Re-sending vender intro.

So I literally tapped the soldering iron on the chip again and it comes up with the chip properties but it says SPI status 0xFF, and the rest is all unknown, etc. Do you think I've bricked my drive? Luckily I have everything backed up though

I am using X360USB PRO, CK3 Pro and MOLEXT power supply (using mains power)
