I've had an O3DSXL for a long time, I used it with an emunand for homebrew and stuff.
It fell in water about a month ago (forgot my login, so I couldn't ask for help then)and ever since then when I tried to turn it on the blue led would glow for a few seconds, then pop and power off (all with a black screen). I tried to completely take it apart and fix it today.
The motherboard and the back of the touchscreen had some kind of dirt on it so I cleaned them both with some 91% Isopropyl Alcohol and cotton balls, I wiped down all of the spaces on the motherboard whether or not it had dirt on it. Eventually I cleaned everything and now here is where my problem starts.
After putting it back together it still glows blue then makes the "pop" sound and powers off. I got around to googling it and found out that the problem could be that either the speaker or mic ribbon cable has been torn, but that doesn't make all that much sense to me because it started doing that after it fell in water, and I wasn't opening and closing it with force (I have in the past, but then this exact problem happened minus the water so I sent it to ninty repair)
So, is this something that I could fix by replacing the speaker and/or mic cables? or does it have anything to do with the water?? I haven't the money to get it repaired a second time (and I doubt the warranty is good after what I've done) nor get a new one.
If I left any important info out please let me know and I'll try my best to clarify, and thanks in advance.
