Help to restore iPhone 4 charge circuit please.
Hi
The iPhone charged at first, then one time after it draining completely I turned it on to find that it wouldn't charge, when plugged in the % would drop. To add to this when shut down it would now stay hot and drain.
I replaced the battery, dock connector and still no charging. Was going to get it sent off for a new power IC until I decided to open the motherboard up.
Under the metal casing I found a lot of green gunk/corrosion which I assume was from water damage.
This was located at the bottom near the antenna and blue capacitor but inside the charge circuits.
I cleaned this out with a toothbrush a alcohol, first it didn't help, but after leaving it soaked in alcohol for a bit and drying it it began to charge again!!
It now works, but charges incredibly slowly and is quite hot. Is there a way that I can make sure the corrosion doesn't come back and a way to hopefully speed up charging? It's all hardware related.
Many thanks.

Thanks for the reply I've added pictures. The green is where it was all gunky. And FYI the crack in that chip wasn't there until I took it apart and accidentally did it so it's got nothing to do with the issue. And yes I removed the EMI shield.
Also it drained again today and won't charge, must have build up corrosion again...
Thankyou
