What can I do with my semi-functional PW3 motherboard to help people out?

So I have this motherboard that is water damaged, and I will be replaceing.

Now that I have it out of the case, I notice a lot of pads that aren't populated and I haven't seen mentioned in the threads I have read.

For example, they have the following three switches unpopulated:

"USB Boot"

"Reset"

"On/Off"

I have manually bridged the "On/Off" switch, and it does work like hitting the main power button.

I have not touched the reset button, and I've never worked with USB boot, but I know the other kindles use that to flash, using a process like press home and power at the same time.

Can I use this to do any research that will help anyone out?
