Fried Volume Pot?

Well, this thread is actually about an LP copy, but it is technical, so I figured I'd post here.

Anyway, I was switching out the Pups on said LP copy, and I may have been a little liberal with the soldering iron on the back of the neck volume pot. I'm afraid I cooked it, and I'm wondering if what I'm hearing matches that.

So, the bridge pup sounds great, but in the Rhythm position, there is noticeably less volume, even when the volume is dimed, like probably less than half, even wit6h the Pup height way up. When I roll it off to about 7, I can't hear anything at all.

Is that what it would sound like if I left the heat on the back of the volume pot?
