Problem Due to Water exposure

my mobile was completely drowned in water as i slipped at the beach. i gave it to my friend to as i got up. but my dear friend didn't removed the battery and kept the mobile in her bag. after sometime when i asked her to give my phone, it was terribly hot. i tried to start my phone but it didn't. my dad kept the mobile in the drawer without consulting any service as i had already replaced my motherboard as my mob used to only flash mode.

after 10 days i thought of restarting my phone and it got started. but there is continuous backlight flashing even if i switch off the mob and sometimes my slider buttons dosent seem to respond. also if i start my mob it starts after a long time. please help.

i have tried to open it but i m unable to remove the connector b/w slider and mob.

Answer this question I have this problem too

It sounds to me like you are running into corrosion and short circuit issues here. The best thing to do would be to open it and to follow this guide Electronics Water Damage for the cleaning. Once you have it properly cleaned, replace the battery and reevaluate the damage. As for now, I recommend not to turn it on any longer, since this may further damage other parts on your board. Good luck.

i wanted to do the same but i m unable to open the PCB connector between slider and phone. its impossible to do because there's full chances of breaking it. if there's anything about how to remove that connector then please share that link.

flex pcb that connects both the pcbs is hard to remove. any guide about it? because there is no lock or sumthing.
