Someone with an open PW2 please check S501 and S502 pad sites for me.
Hint: helps if you have a mirror so you can watch both the display and what you are doing on the back-side.
Tests:
Use a short, stiff, length of light gage, insulated wire - stripped bare at both ends. Something like 20 .. 24 gage solid wire will do fine.
Hold by remaining insulation (I.E: protect Kindle wiring from human body static).
Momentarily connect one of the called out, proposed, connection points to gnd.
S501: Expect an immediate, hardware triggered, full re-boot.
S502: Expect the Kindle to "turn off" (with cleared screen) or to "turn on" (I.E: resume).
If the missing CR500 and CR501 are required, nothing will happen (nor will any harm be done).
If they **are not** required - then the controls should work as expected (and no harm will be done).

Note: the above tests have been performed on the KT2 and they work exactly as labeled.

Note: You might want to forego the coffee for a few hours prior to the above testing - -
The test points are a tad bit smaller in real-life than shown in the picture attached. 
Steady hands are required. |
If I had a PW I would help :\
