Dried wet Fuze, now it won't charge.

No, I still haven’t. I did find another one in good shape, but I’m fixated on fixing “mine”. It talks to the computer and occasionally shows some charge on the Windows interface (that then dissipates the instant I slide the power switch). However, the screen (or at least the backlight) is inoperative and so is the light around the wheel, which should light when charging from the wall, unless the dead battery prohibits that. This seems to suggest that there’s a problem with the power, though there may be other issues too.

I’m trying to scratch up a parts unit and will crack the case open as illustrated one of the previous replies. I’m slow, so this may take awhile.
