Pixel 5 antena replacement alternatives

My Pixel 5 detects my sim, but no signal at all on both my physical and esim after a minor water damage. WiFi works, I just can use the sim because it shows no signal at all. After some research I suspect the antenna is damaged, are there any alternate antennas that I can replace it with?

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Have you fixed the water damage?

Yes, the water was removed, and some components in the charging area was cleaned, it seems the antennas are not damaged, the technician suggested it might be an issue powering the signal, I'll be handing over the phone to him for further inspection (inspecting the ic and stuff)

Hi @russellpeiris
It seems the answer is your antenna is not powered due to water interference/damage
you should replace the cable to the antenna

let me know of any further developments
