Between school, work, and girlfriend, I just didn't have time to mod it or even drive it. My nephews started playing with it when I would go out of town. Unfortunately, they left the batteries in it. Not sure how long they've been in there, but the car will not power on. There is no visible corrosion from the batteries. I'm not familiar with how XMods are designed and this is my first time visiting this site. Could someone offer some insight as to what might have broken, come loose, or fried? Where should I start looking?

I have had all of these, plus jimtothejam's suggestions on my civic recently.
