Not powering on anymore, but charge light still comes on

I was trying to fix the top screen, that went well and it works, but at one point I broke the little flap on the circle pad's connector. With the bottom part of the shell still off, I taped that down as a temporary fix and it still worked. But when I was going to test it more, I don't think I was holding the battery in right (wasn't making enough contact) and I powered it on, it turned on then off a second later, speakers made a pop sound. I tried it 2 more times, same thing, until on the 4th try it wouldnt power on at all.

Charge light comes and stays on with battery in, is only on for 1-2 seconds with it not in.

Hi!

It does sound like a cable which isn’t connected properly or damaged… best thing to do is to check all the cables. Best thing to do is to desolder the connector and solder a new one in.

Best thing to do is to start with this. If this is all good, then we need to check further!

Please let us know how it goes!

Yep, the *pop* sound comes from an issue with either a speaker cable or display cable. In this case it sounds like a display cable, so I'd inspect/reseat those first
