iPhone 6s liquid damage solutions

The iPhone was accidentally washed in a washer machine for 5-10 minutes, it was immediately taken out, wiped and then put in rice for two days. Now it will not turn on so I replaced the battery and charging port and it still doesn’t turn on. The LCD seems to have signs of short circuit but my question is does that matter?

If I plug the phone into a computer, shouldn’t it at least detect the phone even if the LCD does not work?

What are some other issues I should look into/replace? What could be something else that is wrong with the device and any suggestions on solutions?

With water damage, you have to decontaminate the logic board before doing anything else, otherwise there will be latent issues down the road.

Not every water-damaged phone is recoverable and depending on the kind of liquid (salty, dirty, filthy), sometimes the success rate is quite low. That said, IMHO, it's always worth a try otherwise we are just piling up the e-waste.

The rice myth kills too many phones...

The water is inside the phone, on the logic board and under the shields, even under the IC's. The rice is nowhere near where the water is. So while it “may’’ soak up some water vapour, the real problem is the mineral deposits that can cause short circuits or the corrosion that is taking place as the water evaporates. Leaving the power on the device accelerates the process. The longer you let a phone sit in rice, the more time you are giving corrosion to damage your logic board. The saltier or harder the water is, the more damage will occur. The water needs to be displaced, not evaporated. Here’s a great video that summarizes these issues.

On some phones, rice treatments appear to work. But those are phones that had minimal water ingress and not anywhere near a danger area on the logic board. They would have recovered regardless of the intervention.

 The proper way treat a wet phone is to do the following:

  • Open your phone and remove the logic board (follow this guide)
  • Inspect the logic board, especially around the connectors and look for corrosion.
  • Inspect both sides of the board. Unfortunately, most of the board is covered in shields. That's usually where the damage is occurring.
  • Put your board in a container with >90% isopropyl alcohol and let it sit for a while.
  • Use a soft brush, like a toothbrush and lightly brush away any corrosion you see.
  • Rinse in alcohol and repeat.
  • Let it air dry for a day.
  • Re-assemble and hope for the best.

 You should also replace the battery if it has swollen. Resist the temptation to pop it to let the gas out. A compromised Li-ion battery is a fire hazard. If the device appears to power up but behaves erratically, then use a tool like 3uTools to flash the firmware as it may be corrupted.

A professional repair shop that does water damage repair may be able to recover your data because they have access to pro-level ultrasonic baths and specialized cleaners as well as the skills to troubleshoot your board. Many shops have a no data/no fee policy so you don't have to spend money to find out if the data is recoverable or not.

I dropped my iPhone 6 in water and just like that it was gone. With water damage you really can’t do much. There is places that you can ship your phone off to and they can do data recovery. If it’s not recognized in iTunes it’s dead. The LCD doesn’t have anything to do with it. Next time don’t put it in rice. It’s the last thing you want to do. All rice does is dry it. Once it’s dried the water/liquid leaves mineral deposits and that corrodes the phones mother board and ends up killing it.
