Logic Board Display Connector - Water Damage - Missing Pin

Hi,

so i have an iphone 5 that was dropped into water. the phone itself does work fine. only the display/screen connector sems to be broken cause the screen stays black when the phone is turned on. however the touch works cause you can hear keyboard clicks an vibration works to - so the digitizer/touch connector should be ok

- so it sems to be all ok except the screen connector. - here is a closeup pic from the in my thoughts damaged connector: Damaged Display Connector - Picture

so my question is if there is a way to fix the connector?

I'm no master when it comes to board level soldering, however I know it is fixable. Have you tried cleaning it with 90%+ Isopropyl alcohol? Looks quite corroded to my eyes. I'd give that a try first.

okay thanks ! thought about that too but it looks like the pin on the board is missing completely - so i think ill give it a try soldering a new one on there ;) however cleaning the other ones wouldnt be a bad idea for sure !
