Default DS Won't Power On

The green light turns on, then gets bright for a second, then turns off. I did replace the case, but I was VERY careful. This is the first time I've botched something.... I looked on google and could only find information saying that a fuse may be blown, but they appear to be in good order. Any ideas?

edit:
Okay, well, I took it apart and attempted to turn it on without the wireless module, the light stays on, but nothing appears on the screen. I reattached the wireless module and the light is dim again and goes bright then turns off.

I only replaced the case because the hinges were f---ed up. I should have just dealt with it. I really would like to get it working again. This sucks...

I already have a CycloDS Evo and 4GB microSD, and have been playing it for a week now.

I hope I can fix it, or find someone to fix it

edit: I first read that the problem I am having is fuse related...not sure how I could have blown one. So I contacted M37R01D to see what he thought. I was told that a DS will do this if the top screen is not fully plugged into the unit. I'll look into this later, thanks M37R01D Probably will just rebuild the whole thing to make sure

Update: I managed to get it to power on, the screen cables weren't in all the way, wow I feel like a tard. Now, everything works if the top screen is locked at an angle, any angle less than almost fully open will result in the screen becoming distorted... I'm starting to think I f---ed up the ribbon cable.
