i try cleaning internally alcohol based cleaning product. double check connections make sure nothing loose or broken.

if still doesn't work after that, thing can suggest give time dry out. might have made short windex someplace. late though man.

use alcohol based cleaning product on electronics. white sprit or other of thinner have been better used, though melt/damage softer materials.
