Dsi power problem water damage

I spilt tea on my dsi xl about 12 weeks ago now. Finally got round to opening it up. The charger light was just flashing so I knew it was a power problem. started stripping it down when the battery power connector came off the motherboard (red and black wire connector) and when i looked at it closer it was corroded. I've cleaned down the corrosion that i can see on the motherboard with a soft toothbrush and it looks ok now. I also painstakingly soldered wires to the motherboard to fix that issue. Now charge light stays solid but blue light will blink once when I press the power button. The screens don't flash at all. I can upload picture of the damage I found If it would help. Could you suggest anything else as I can't afford to buy another one.

"The best you can do is replacing the motherboard on your DSi XL. Do that if your old motherboard died.

Here is the tutorial:
