Family friend dropped their phone into water whilst on holiday. When they got it back I had a go at taking it apart, drying it out properly etc but no luck. The phone itself is a write off and they've already got a new one, but I am trying to get it running long enough just to get their holiday photos off of the device. They don't have hundreds and hundreds of pounds to spare so going to a professional is not possible, but I am happy to chuck some money in to get replacement parts.

Phone itself shows no sign of life, no noise, vibration or anything on screen at all, despite trying to turn on, reset etc. I've got a repair manual and first thing it says is to check the battery voltage, which was coming back as 0V. I've bought a replacement battery and that shows 3.8V but still no luck. I want to make sure I am measuring the battery properly (currently doing it when disconnected via the connector on the end of the ribbon cable).
I was wondering what the next steps would be, if any are possible? Or failing that anyway to get the data off of the device, but I assume that will be difficult/impossible as it will be encrypted.
