debricking Amazon Kindle Keyboard 3

Hello. I apologize for my English - I use google translate. I'll bring up an old topic - there are a couple of bricks, Amazon Kindle Keyboard 3. I tried to restore them via Kubrick Live CD, but without success. Instead of flashing the main partition for several hours (I tried it on a previously successfully revived Kindle 3), it goes through this stage in a few seconds, while the percentage of the progress bar does not change - 0%. At the output we get a brick without changes. Tried on two Kindle 3 - both times the same result. I tried to restore them via ATK according to the instructions of K3noobdebrickatk - I went through all the main stages of preparation and when I tried to flash I got "Failed to initial flash or Do not support this Flash, please reset the target", the same result on two books. The cord and USB ports are in order - checked. Batteries in both cases were charged during the day. I carefully read several topics from Kindle Developer's Corner and here in this one - Noob's guide to debricking through ATK found a mention of a successful firmware using a hidden reset button - https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showpost.php?p= 2284386&postcount=341 But for some reason, no one paid due attention to this message, but meanwhile it is quite logical - ATK reports the need to reboot the device "please reset the target", so we use the reset button. But, unfortunately, there are no buttons soldered on my boards, only signed places for them and a couple more details - a three-legged SMD diode D14 and a resistor R250 according to the designations on the board. Perhaps this reset circuit is not enough for successful firmware when receiving the error "Failed to initial flash or Do not support this Flash, please reset the target". Maybe someone has an old board with soldered parts or a schematic for Kindle Keyboard 3? I need to find out the denominations of the missing parts, install them and continue the restoration experiments - nevertheless, these Kindle Keyboard 3 readers are not bad even now (after installing all the necessary modifications on them, of course). I would appreciate any information and help.
