water damaged, can see the logo but cant use the home button

hello to all,

first msg here...

my phone fell to the bathroom, i tried to dry it as best as i can, it actually work for two days! afterwards it shut down and when i turned it on i saw the samsung logo and screen froze. i couldn't do a hard reset because the main home button suddenly doesn't work (not sure i would help anyway).

any idea?

p.s

when i went to a repair shop, they examined the phone and told me that the water probably damaged my motherboard and it will be expensive and pointless to try to repair it.

thanks in advance :)

Adam.

The guide for removing the motherboard/logic board is here. The guide for dealing with liquid damage is here. Hopefully you will be able to clean it and get it back in order. In general the faster you can CLEAN electronics after they are exposed to liquid the better chance you have of saving them. Good Luck!
