Screen wont turn on, battery and LCD+Digitizer replaced.
Hey There!
I replaced the battery and LCD+Digitzer combo on my Nexus 5, however the LCD screen does not respond.
I went swimming with my nexus 5 a few months back, I realize phones can't swim ;), and am trying to salvage the device. I opened it up and tried my best to clean everything, and figured it might just be the battery. After replacing said battery, and subsequently the LCD Screen+Digitizer combo, the phone is turning on, my PC is recognizing the device as a Nexus 5, and the phone is vibrating upon being touched, however the LCD screen is still not showing any signs of life.
I've been searching for a possible Main Board replacement, but can't seem to find anything for less than $150 or $200 which is much more than I'd rather spend. I've searched Craigslist and Ebay for broken Nexus 5's, but alas no luck on anything modestly priced.
Any thoughts on how I could fix the LCD screen? are there connections I should check? Or does anyone have a link to a cheap main board?
Is this a good question?

Nicholas Anderson, just to clarify. You cleaned the board properly isopropyl alcohol and all. Everything works except the LCD? Can you make anything out by shining a flashlight angled against the display? Your components looked okay when you cleaned the board? Lots of corrosion? You checked the connectors for any corrosion or bend/broken pins?
