iPhone 3G water damage won't turn on, but apple logo appears
My water bottle opened in by purse and spilled all over my iphone 3G. It has been a year since that happened and I am trying to see if I can fix it.
After the water damage occurred, the phone would not turn on. When I plug it into my computer, it shows the apple logo for about 10 seconds then goes black. I tried resetting it also.
I replaced the battery hoping this would fix the phone. Sadly, it did not. It is still acting the same as before I changed the battery. (I did notice that there were two white dots on the logic board. I was wondering if those were water indicators.)
Should I try to clean the logic board with isopropyl alcohol (>90%)? I'm not really sure how to do this. Do you just disconnect the logic board and apply the alcohol directly to the board with a paint brush?
Are there any replacements that seem obvious to you computer genius'? Maybe the dock connector would need to be replaced?
