I've not heard of this but big minis usually die because of the flex cable in the door.
Also I had one where I damaged the front and the flash burnt out but there was no burnt plastic smell?
If you can check the flash and open the back carefully and check the cable on the hinge that's the best advice I've got...

I did read that the rear cables on the hinge are renowned for going but the back panel was working no problem so thought that was fine. Not sure I trust myself to tinker with it to be honest.
@salad Yeah, switched it back on but wouldn't take a photo, rear panel and exposure lights still worked and lens popped out the body though.
@YeahNerdz Oh right, this sounds slightly promising, I'll take a look and send a message, cheers.
Many thanks to everyone 👍🏻
Package was opened at the back but not the front, wasn't sure if the company had put an old battery in there and that may have some how damaged the camera, as the outer packaging was completely untouched.
