I bought an iPhone XR refurbished from Amazon and accidentally dropped it in water. I thought it would be fine, but after pulling out and drying it as best I could it won't power on anymore. Anyway, I decided to try and repair it myself, but after following the opening instructions, I found that my version of iPhone has a heat shield that looks like it's soldered in. Is the only way to remove it by using a solder gun? Also, I've noticed that none of the online instructions show the type of metal shield that I'm seeing after detaching the screen. Is it possible that I was sold the wrong version of phone?[image|2947486]
