i need to debrick my nexx router so i got a ch341 programmer and soic8 clamp
but when i connect everything, the router tries to power on due to vcc provided
can i still somehow get around desoldering the chip? i dont have the equipment
(oh and i ripped of the serial console solder points + traces with my solder skills)

try to press and hold reset button

try to lift up and isolate the pin 8 (vcc) of the spi flash from the pcb using the iron and the tweezers tip
