My DSI XL sustained water damage around 6 years ago has never worked since. When I try to turn it on the lights flashes orange, and thats all.
I opened up my DSI and found a bunch of white residue which i thoroughly cleaned off with isopropyl alcohol and the board looks like new. However, the board still did not turn on, so I also decided to change the fuses and it still wont turn on. When I use my voltmeter, I can 5V flows around the board fine. However, an interesting thing happens when I test the voltage on a specific component. When I connect one end of the voltmeter prongs on the charging port prong, and the other voltmeter prong on this component, it seems to temporary kill my charger. The charger for about 10 minutes does not work at all, as I have tested the charger on my other devices and it doesn't work for a while. After a while, the charger starts to work again.
** The component in question is the little thing near the charging port with a tiny copper spool within it, and the number 2 on top. Does anyone know what this is?
Is it possible this component might be the faulty and I may simply have to change it and my thing should hopefully work?
