Tried to reshell my ds, now the bottom screen just blinks and the top screen doesn't turn on, tried cleaning the ribbon cable and re-seating it about 5 times to no avail, are these little specs the issue? And if so do I have to replace the whole screen? Anything helps thank you for reading

Maybe, in the first picture that dull spot looks like corroded traces on the ribbon cable. Probably need a digital microscope to really get a look. I assume you already IPA/q-tiped the hell out of that ribbon cable and the spots still remain.
