Screen unresponsive after light rain

Hi @davejohnso16365

You said that you removed the screen. Whilst it was removed, did you check the status of the LDI in the phone or look for any other signs of water ingress or corrosion, as you never mentioned it?

If the LDI is indicating the water has entered or if there's evidence of corrosion then this may have to be looked at before replacing the display.

The impurities in the water causes corrosion and provides circuit paths for the electricity which were not in the phone's operating design and could damage the components. The corrosion starts immediately and is ongoing until it is completely cleaned away

Do not try to charge or to turn on your phone and then remove the battery as soon as possible from the phone to minimize any further damage.

Then you need to dis-assemble the rest of the phone and clean all the affected parts using Isopropyl Alcohol 99%+ (available at electronics parts stores) to remove all traces of corrosion and water. If possible do not use "rubbing alcohol" as in some cases this is only 70% IPA or less, can contain additives which may leave conductive residues and is not as effective. If you do have to use it check the label to verify the amount of IPA. The higher the percentage of IPA the better

Here is a link that describes what happens Electronics Water Damage

As always with electronics, especially surface mounted pcb be gentle when handling and especially when brushing away the corrosion. You do not want to remove any components from the board. Remove the shields that may be covering some components as the water may have got in under there. The ends of any flex cables and their connectors need to be cleaned as well

Hopefully after you have done all this the phone might possibly work correctly again or perhaps the screen will have to be replaced anyway. At least you know that there's not much else wrong that could be causing the problem.

Here is the ifixit Google Pixel 6 repair guide that may help.
