I just found my old iPhone 5c and noticed it wasn’t working possibly due to water damage a few years ago. I was able to get the motherboard or logic board out after a little bit of tweaking and I was hoping to get somebody’s insight and knowledged to know if this is too rusty to continue. I was planning on just swapping it out and placing it into another iPhone 5c.
Is this a good question?

since it has been sitting for a few years then the corrosion could have caused more damage over time, only way to know is to try it with a good screen, battery and power button

@coachb6185 before doing that, I would suggest at least cleaning it :-) Pop all the EMI shields off and then use this guide Repairing iPhone Liquid Damage and clean your board as described in step 11 and on. It was written for a 3G but all the steps are still pertinent to your board as well.
@oldturkey03 you need hot air to remove those shields
@tech_ni you are right of course. I'd still feel a lot better to clean it first ;-) @coachb6185 follow the advice given by @tech_ni to work on your board.
