Hardware Accidentally soldering pads

[Jroid3]

So basically i tried the whole "Solder joycon pads 9 & 10 together" method for booting into rcm mode, but accidentally soldered pads 8 and 10 instead. I'm going mentally insane trying to decide whether to turn on the joycon and but it into my switch.

What do it do?

Desolder them

Desolder them

Under the circumstances i am in, we can't desolder them.

Then why did you do it in the first place if I may ask, don't thinker with things you can't reverse unless you are sure it will work

Add flux to the joint and clean the soldering iron tip. Now try to take the superflous solder using the clean tip. This works almost every time. Flux is key here because without the solder will rather behave like molten plastic than a drop of water.

And as a side note: I would not connect them directly. A fairly large resistor should be in between. Around 8-10kΩ.
