How can I bring my iPhone 6 back from the dead?
Approximately 4 weeks ago my phone took a very brief (2s) plunge into my pool. I immediately took it inside and performed the following:
1. turned the phone off
2. opened up and removed camera, logic board, vibrator and speaker.
3. cleaned off all connectors and placed logic board in isopropyl bath.
4. thoroughly inspected assembly under a microscope (unable to inspect under shielding on logic board).
5. dried assembly with hair dryer
I reassembled the phone and everything appeared to be in working order except for the rear facing camera (front facing was working). After 4 weeks of the phone working fine, it suddenly died. Zero response at all. Will not charge (doesn't warm up at all), not detected by iTunes or PC and none of the software reset tricks have worked. I ordered a new battery for the phone as it seemed like the phone just wasn't getting power and I assumed the water invasion eventually shorted the battery as it was one component I did not attempt to clean. I installed the new battery yesterday and there was no change - still dead. I realize that this is most likely a lost battle however I wanted to know if anyone has any other ideas to try. Are there any on board fuses that I could check? If the camera or dock connector are "failed" will that cause these symptoms? My fear is that it's the power management IC on the logic board... but I'm stubborn and want to keep trying.
I've read several "water damage" responses and all of them point to removing the shields on the logic board. This will be my next task although I really don't believe any water made it to those locations. The plunge was very brief and I was very quick to open the phone - but I suppose until I look under them I can't say for sure that they are clean.
Questa è una buona domanda?
