Answer to: Is my iPhone ruinedUse this teardown to start your water damage repair. Then use the Water Damage Guide for how to clean up the phone. Be very careful. The guide really is important because you don't want further corrosion in your phone. If you are able to get the phone to turn on, but have no display, you will definitely need to replace your screen. Follow this guide for the screen replacement, then another for the home button, and lastly, one for your front camera assembly. The home button, camera, and LCD shield will need to be transferred since they do not come with the new screen. Definitely be careful with the home button as you will lose touch ID if you ever have to replace it.

If you have changed the battery of your device, this can be the problem because you got error 29 in iTunes. To fix the error 29, you need to replace your battery with the original one, and start the restore / update process again via iTunes. Problem with the Antivirus - If the iTunes Error 29 shows up due to a software bug, then it could be for the antivirus software installed on an iPhone. If the error-showing smartphone has an antivirus software, then the users should prompt the following – update the antivirus first from the iTunes App Store, restart the device and check whether the error has been fixed.

Answer to: Replaced cracked screen, now touch screen doesn't workDid you follow the guide exactly? I would recommend going back and making sure your cables are all properly connected. If it still doesn't work, it could be the screen itself, the cables, or board damage to the port.

It is certainly not necessary to remove the battery in order to do this repair. I do not recommend following those steps.
