Repairing water damaged iPhone - backlight intermittent
I am repairing a 3gs that had water damage. I took it apart down and gave the logic board a good soak in 90% alcohol, and gently scrubbed it down with a toothbrush (noticing and removing some corrosion that appeared on the 6r8 coil). Backlight worked for 3 days. This could help most people.
I, however, am not most people. The backlight went out again. Soaked the logic board again in alcohol, overnight this time. Worked until I shut the phone off, then no backlight when I turned it on again. Any ideas on this one?
Is this a good question?

test the 6r8 is working with a multimeter etc,I'd take a good look at connector 1.. sometimes the coil is fine and it's the pin/pathway that corrodes.
