Bootlooping iPhone X after water damage

So I have an iPhone X that was dropped in a sink full of water a couple days ago. It worked for about 10 minutes or so then it turned off. I've tried cleaning the motherboard in an ultrasonic cleaner a couple times for about 5-10 minutes total and I baked the phone afterwards for about 10 minutes. Now when I turn it on it is bootlooping. For a brief second when I connected the charger it gave the charging icon the immediately went back to bootlooping. Another odd thing that happened was while it was bootlooping the rear camera flash was on and orange. It stayed on until I disconnected the battery. I'm not sure if this is some kind of error code but I haven't heard of an orange flash being a normal function. I appreciate any help or ideas on where to go next. Also, I've tried connecting the phone to my computer and I couldn't find it.

Answer this question I have this problem too

this can be a few different things. ultrasonic cleaners are best used in a sonic wash machine.

i would suggest trying a new battery in the device, and if that doesnt fix the issue, you could very well have a board component fried out from the corrosion. usually it is the flash image chip that causes a bootloop when the battery is good.
