Why isnt my iPhone drawing any current?
My phone was damged by water and it still doesnt work and doesnt draw current from the charger. Could a capacitor be dead or a tristar chip?.
Is this a good question?

With water damage, it could literally be anything. You have to decontaminate the logic board before doing anything else, otherwise there will be latent issues down the road.
Not every water-damaged phone is recoverable and depending on the kind of liquid (salty, dirty, filthy), sometimes the success rate is quite low. That said, IMHO, it's always worth a try otherwise we are just piling up the e-waste.
I would try the following:
You should also replace the battery if it has swollen. Resist the temptation to pop it to let the gas out. A compromised Li-ion battery is a fire hazard. If the device appears to power up but behaves erratically, then use a tool like 3uTools to flash the firmware as it may be corrupted.
A professional repair shop that does water damage repair may be able to recover your phone or the data because they have access to pro-level ultrasonic baths and specialized cleaners as well as the skills to troubleshoot your board. Many shops have a no fix/no fee policy so you don't have to spend money to find out if the phone is fixable or not.
