How to fix dropped in the Toilet iPhone! (check the images)
Hi
I dropped my phone into the toilet and after one month I disassembled the device and using a multimeter tried to check which component is not working. I might be new to these stuff, but when the battery is connected the current should flow into the wires and connectors but I was getting 0.648 mA and dropped to 0.
I have tried another crazy thing, I thought the battery might be dead so I removed it and I connected the phone "without the battery" to a charger (I used a battery charger and not a wall charger to avoid any disaster) and looked for the current in different components of the device and I've got the same result.
So I reassembled the device and voila it turned on (it wasn't working at all) but as you can see in the pictures, nothing was happening.
The question is, what part|s of the device I should change so it will start working again?
Thanks in advance

Esta é uma boa pergunta?

Seeing as the device was not disassembled for a month, corrosion most likely set in. It is hard to pin down a certain component that needs to be changed without looking at the device.
I am assuming that this phone will need to be professionally treated for water damage. The corrosion is most likely shorting out your logic board somewhere.

Thanks for your replays
I have the fluke 289 multimeter to test for current flow. The thing is I tried to check whether the current is moving in the connectors or not, but the problem is I get 0.67 mA and then drops to 0. I don't know whats going on, whether it's normal or not, or I don't know how to use the multimeter.
Is there any tutorials or any hints on how to check that?
Thanks a lot

From your images, it appears that you have some water damage to the LCD. Before you have any need for your multimeter, clean your phone and check for corrosion.Also, why would you check the mA? Right now you are concerned with the voltages.....Clean your phone, change the battery.
