Just replaced both joysticks, Unfortunately the backlight is not coming on after I put it back together. I've done repairs like this a dozen times and never ran into this issue before, I am very careful with the ribbon cables.
This should be the only issue with the system. Its possible to see the screen while shining a flashlight on it, and I was able to do a factory reset this way.
Thanks for looking, let me know if you have any other questions!
