Orange light flashes when plugged in, looks like liquid damage
I've got a ds lite here with no signs of life aside from a brief orange flash when I plug it in. It won't charge, won't turn on, just flashes at me. (Someone else had a similar problem, but theirs at least turned on)
I've tried another battery, checked both fuses, made sure the battery is making contact, and checked the voltage from both the adapter and charging port.
I also checked the voltage on the battery connectors, and got 0.00V. Not sure what to do about that
Judging from the residue and corrosion I found, I'm guessing someone spilled pepsi or something similar on it. Is this fixable? Where do I go from here?

Are you able to take photos of the motherboard and post it?

@darthmango Check out this video. Might be a good idea to clean it with isopropyl alcohol if the corrosion causes a short

@darthmango when did you "checked the voltage on the battery connectors, and got 0.00V" get this? with the new battery or on charging power?

@oldturkey03 On charging power. Also, in case it's relevant, this was with everything disconnected from the mobo, exactly like the pictures
