Thnx for useful reply. I did the aforesaid above and my iphone is working now. The problem I am facing now is the short life time of battery. After full charging, my iphone battery life is around 4-5 hours only. Kindly suggest any useful way to enhance the battery life time.

Thnx in advance

ajay, the table lamp will not evaporate enough water. You will have ongoing corrosion damage. I suggest that you using the device, (remove the battery) and totally disassemble it. Then clean it with +90% isopropyl alcohol. This will displace the water and stop corrosion. It it okay to submerge a board in isopropyl alcohol. After that, air dry all the components. Do not forget to clean the connectors on the board as well as the cables. Then re-assemble with a new battery This is not optional but a must to avoid failure later on. " Check your board for any missing or damaged component. Water damage is the toughest to trouble shoot and to repair. Hope this helps, good luck.
