3DS Won't Turn On/Makes Popping Noise When Trying to Turn On...

Hi, I'm really hoping I can get some sort of help here. I got an old 3DS of mine modified with a capture card a few months back. It hasn't been used very much, nor has it been handled roughly. I've been super protective of it, to be honest. However, just tonight, when I was going to try something out with it... I gave it a bit of a charge, turned it on, and after a second or two, a loud pop comes from the system and the power light goes off. I'm really hoping this is some easy sort of fix, though I'm not really confident in myself if I really have to open the system up more past the capture card itself and the battery. If I can get any suggestions or help with this, I would be absolutely greatful.

If it's any additional help, I did try turning it on with the system slightly cracked opened, and it seemed to start up fine... At least with the audio. Both screens were blank on the system, and the pop happened when attempting to open the system all the way.

Well, update on the last bit I shared last night, if it means anything. Trying to turn the system on now with it slightly opened actually displays the screens properly on the system unlike last night where they were blank. Still makes a pop and shuts off if I open it up too far though. Seriously, any help or suggestions would be appreciated more than you could imagine.
