@someone2007 Rice does not work. It does absolutely nothing to help you with this repair. All it does is waste time and waste food. Check here https://www.ifixit.com/News/30047/rice-i... for more on this.

The very first step I would take is to disassemble your iPhone. Use these guides iPhone 6s to help you disassemble your phone. Take a careful and close look at all components and connectors. Truly assess the damage. Look for major corrosion, evaluate the pins in the connectors etc,. Take a look at all connectors as well as cable ends. You will have to remove all the EMI shields. If you do not remove the shields, you are not cleaning the board. Once you got the gross contamination cleaned, use 90%+ isopropyl alcohol and clean your parts some more. For a proper cleaning, use this guide. It was written for an Apple iPhone 3G but it is still pertinent to your phone as well. I can not stress the importance of a good cleaning enough, so do it over and over while replacing the alcohol after each cleaning. Do not use compressed air for the cleaning since that can drive liquid as well as corrosion particles into areas that will cause trouble later on. Do not use drinking water, if you need to use water, use sterile water. Also, you do not need to leave it to dry for a day. Isopropyl alcohol in the higher concentration will evaporate quickly and dissipate the water. The importance here is the cleaning. It would of course be best to get it professionally cleaned with an ultrasonic cleaner. Do not forget to replace the battery. This is a must and not an option. It will fail if you do not take care of it now. After that, reassemble your phone and re-evaluate. For as long as you have not cleaned your board and replaced the battery, everything is just a guess. Keep in mind that water damage is the hardest to troubleshoot and to repair. It does not matter if is was exposed for 2 seconds or 2 hours, what matters is where the water (particulates) did the damage. Yes, Rice does not work.

@oldturkey03

can you recommend a good (but not too expensive) ultrasonic cleaner that one might be able to pick on up amazon.com?

@beekerc Elmasonic, Branson and Crest have some really good products. Vevor seems to be more of a consumer product but it may suit your purpose. It all depends on what your plans are and how often you will use it etc. Your tools and equipment should always fit your plans not the other way around. I actually use an old Crest Sonic that I got for a really good price. It works for me since I use it very infrequently since I am only a hobbyist. So don't shy away from reusing older equipment.

@oldturkey03

totally agree with your "tools fit plans" perspective. i'm too am just a hobbyist and am looking for something that can handle iphone logic board, but also multi-purpose for cleaning jewelry and other stuff around the house that could use it, but couldn't (before) justify an ultrasonic cleaner. looking to spend around $50, but no more than $100.

i'll take a look at those brands you suggested.

btw, what types of solution(s) do you use for cleaning phone stuff?

Thanks

B

@beekerc I got my hands on some Branson EC solution and it works well for me.
