Can I fix my fried iPhone SE motherboard

I have a water damaged motherboard. I tried to clean it with isopropyl alcohol. Nothing changed. Will reballing fix this? If I move the memory parts to another board will that work? Any help to repair this board will be welcome. Thanks

Most repair shops treat water damage as data recovery only, because there are so many things that can go wrong with water damaged phones.

So it will work if a move the data chips over to a new board?

by

As long as the chip wasn't damaged by the water, then, in theory, yes, but there's no guarantee.

How can I tell if the chip was damaged?

by

I don't know. I don't do board level repairs, so that would be up to the person doing the repair. Other than looking at it to see if there is corrosion, I wouldn't know how to test it or tell if it's working.

Thanks for the help
