Rockstar spilled on two of my phones can I save them?

I have two phones that got soaked with rockstar. I let them dry out for a few days. Both of them tried to turn on, but didn’t I noticed both of the batteries on the now swollen are they salvageable if I replace the batteries or are they still garbage I don’t waste the money to find out.

Hi @tameraborchardt

They may be salvageable, you can only try.

The impurities in the liquid 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 liquid. 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 and replaced the battery, the phone might possibly work correctly again.

Here is the ifixit Sky 6.0Q repair guide that may help.

If you decide to replace the batteries search online for KLB280N306 to find battery suppliers that suit you best. (supplier examples only). Remember to dispose of the old batteries responsibly. The environment will thank you for doing it.
