My Tab got body spray in it and I tried to fix it but no luck.

Hi @guardian10

Maybe you should edit your answer and advise to disconnect the battery first before doing anything else as corrosion and damage is continuing whilst there is still power on the board. There is always some power on the board as the Power button is not a power isolating button ;-)

Also "dunking" is not advisable either. Gentle cleaning using an IPA moistened Q-Tip etc is safer. That way any components aren't likely to be dislodged etc. by the act of "dunking" it in IPA etc.

Maybe I'm being too literal but you have to take into account how DIY'ers might read it.

@jayeff I didn't say to disconnect the battery because the OP would have to so the logic board could come out. About the dunking, I've seen it used to fix heavily corroded boards.

And by dunking I meant submerging.

@guardian10

Maybe badly worded on my part but it make take a bit of time to remove the logic board e.g. disconnecting flex cables etc so it is better to disconnect the battery as soon as it is accessible and then continue removing the board. Also it forestalls any electrical problems from occurring e.g. metal tools accidentally slipping etc when doing the removal as you don't want any more problems than what you've got.

I've also seen boards being submerged and have witnessed components lifting off due to poor initial soldering that held them on but maybe any movement of the board would have done that
