Fix a broken DS caused by water

I was tasked to fix a broken Nintendo DS caused by water damage. Water had entered on the right side of the DS and it had ceased to turn on. With the warranty expired, I had no choice but to take matters into my own hands. Fortunately, it wasn't a difficult task.

At first, I thought all hope was lost. But a post on saving electronics from spilled liquid on lifehacker.com about made me realize there was still a chance. There was nothing to lose, so hey, why not give it a try. I found a really good tutorial on the web on how to open the DS. Once opened, found there was some white dried water streaks on the circuit board. I used a really small flat screwdriver to scrape off the water streaks. Then I connected the battery and it was working again. There's going to be one very happy little kid.
