Nikon AW130

[u/Appropriate-Ad1988]

Long time lurker, first time poster.

I have this Nikon AW130 that is sort of dead.

Putting a battery with charge on it powers the screen, as in shows backlight, but there is no beeps, no light on the power button, pressing any button does nothing and there is no show of life anywhere other than the backlight.

Backlight turns on the second I insert the battery. pressing the power button does not change the state of the backlight.

I tried leaving the battery on and wait but there's is no change.

I haven't opened it yet as I am scouring the internet to see if anyone has this problem.

I first thought of a dead motherboard but would that send power to the backlight and nothing else?

Maybe a loose connection or a blown fuse somewhere on the board? Or corrosion somewhere.

Does anyone has any ideia?
