Hello everyone,
I recently got really drenched in the rain while I was on my bike. The phone was in my pocket and there was no way I could escape the heavy downpour. When I took my phone out once I got home, I noticed that there was some water on the screen, however, it didn't seem like it could have seeped all the way in. Assuming that it was just water on the outside, I wiped everything clean with a soft dry cloth. Note that by this time, my battery had died out (it was already on the way to being replaced). I then plugged the phone to a charger and the moment it turned on, the screen went awry. I tried powering it down using the button however the power off button was already unresponsive. I quickly removed the back cover, disconnected the battery and found that there were a few drops of water inside. I dried everything up and placed it in a dry place (rice, silica) for up to 48 hours to dry out. Went through the teardown videos to disassemble everything to see if I could spot anything. However, there was nothing I could find and now the phone is complete dead.
Could anybody suggest what I could do to revive the phone? Or is it too late already? Are there any indications I could get by observing the visible parts for any signs of damage? I have not disassembled the screen yet as I'm not too confident in doing this.
Thanks for any support I could get on this!
Regards,
Jeetu
