Searching... After water damage repair
I just finally brought my water damaged 6 back to life after tearing it down and cleaning everything with 91% isopropyl alcohol including soaking the board for a few hours scrubbing and blowing off with canned air every thing is working like new no problems except the carrier spot just says searching all the time now even if I put in a SIM card or take it out it never changes my question is what should I check I cleaned all the antennas is it just that the chip in the board is shot? Or is there another possible fix? I hate that you can't remove the emi shields anymore to really scrub all the chips
Is this a good question?

@jared91 this "can't remove the emi shields " concerns me a bit. You will have to remove all the shields to properly clean the board. Did you remove them?

Well how can I remove them they are soldered on to the board now I can solder but I don't have a hot air setup or anything decent to remove them

If you do not remove the shields, you are leaving 2/3 of the board uncleaned. Use a soldering iron (not a hot air station) to remove those. Even the cheapest soldering iron can be used for that.
