Water Damage ... Phone WORKS just no Sim reception

Hi guys,

My phone fell in the Pool a few days ago. Phone stayed on, turned on perfect after a few days. A few functions were inop, but came back after a bit of drying. Cameras, Power button etc.

Now, the only thing still NOT working is cell phone reception. Sim is fine, it just doesn’t receive a signal. It shows the Signal Bars so it knows a Sim is inserted.

I am very familiar with changing things myself on the Phone so I opened it up and inspected each part.

It was all dry but there were a few spots that had corrosion, see the pictures.

What’s the best way to clean them? Isopropyl alcohol? Metal brush?

Or is the antenna a specific part? Looks like it’s part of the motherboard….

I would clean the corrosion with Isopropyl Alcohol and a cotton swab. Test the phone after cleaning the corrosion and get back to us on the phone's status

Just tried....cleaned it very generously and it looks much, much better. However, NO luck on the signal :(.

Thanks for your message.

Any other idea?
