    Please show me the test point location in any of the above pictures for the Honor V9. My phone is hard-bricked, and it is not responding. The only response is that when I connect it to a PC, it shows up as USB under the Device Manager settings. Could you please provide me with information on how to fix this issue? Please show me the test point location.
