Hi all,
Dunked my phone in a pool after a screen replacement - moisture seeped in through a small break in the adhesive sealer. I was able to crack open the phone and get all the moisture out with one exception - inside the main camera module itself. It seems that the camera module's ability to move somewhat compromises its water integrity, and as such I can see some small bubbles on the inside of the module itself.
Here's a handy dandy pic.

I've already run a fan over the camera module for several hours, but no luck. I've also wiped it with a microfiber - it's definitely inside the module itself.
Anything to be done here? The rest of the phone works fine, except for the TrueDepth Camera which is borked. I can live without Face ID for a few months while I wait for the 14 to come out, but a camera right before a big vacation... unless I can fix it I might have to shell out the $200 insurance deductible.
