Recently had a juice bottle explode in my backpack, and of course it got all over the 2ds in there.
I let the system dry out, had severe issues with the circle pad and other buttons sticking, so I cracked it open to clean everything out with alcohol wipes. I tore the camera cable during this, unfortunately.
I finally have a replacement piece, and I've got it installed, but the camera is still not working. I've popped the cable in gold side up and gold side down, made sure it was fully seated in the socket, and still no change.
Had I the money, I'd simply send it off to Nintendo, but being completely unable to work means no income, so I'm hoping someone here can tell me what I'm doing wrong.
I also have had an issue with the charge indicator light being on constantly since the juice incident, I'm not sure if that's related. I'm fairly certain it's just the circuit for the light that's borked, the unit still charges and plays normally, aside from the camera issue.
