sam mccoy, sure it could be water damage. Since you are not sure, I'd suggest that you follow this guide. remove the logic board and clean every part with 90%+ isopropyl alcohol and a soft brush. Use this guide to see how to properly clean the parts. It was written for an iPhone but all the information is valid for your phone as well. While you clean, pay good attention to see if there are any broken, burned or missing components. Once it is cleaned and everything is checked, follow the answers from here.
