Nintendo Dsi Repair Help

Tried fixing my childhood Dsi, bought a new battery from ifixit and a bottom screen LCD, opened it up, put it back together, pressed the power button and a blue light flashed, the bottom screen flashed white, and the speakers made a popping sound, i opened it back up and re-seated all the ribbon cables, now it doesnt do anything when i press the power button, but when i plug it in, an orange light flashes, if i press the power while plugged in, nothing happens, and the light turns off until i unplug then plug it back in, the battery isnt the issue, i tested it before i swapped the screen and it turned on fine, ive also made sure its seated correctly, cleaned the pins on the ds and the pads on the battery as well as pushed the battery into the pins to make sure its making good contact. I went back and reseated every ribbon cable a second time and payed special attention to the top screen ribbon cable because it seems i didnt have it all the way in anyway. Im not sure what else the issue could be, because its the same orange light still and everything seems to be firmly seated in place just fine. I dont have a multimeter or any way to solder so any solutions involving that are outside my scope of possibility. If yall have any ideas please lmk and thank you for reading my essay worthy post.
