Water damaged Iphone

MJ23 · 2013-01-06 13:26:37

I want clean a water damaged iphone, i have all the tools and instructions. Can anyone confirm that the irevivespray is just simply non acetone nail polish remover? Has anyone tried it and how did you get on? What solution did you use? Or will i get some iropropyl alcohol? I think it can be got in a chemist.

I always remove the metal shields and soak in isopropanoyl 70%+ for at least a few hours and then a gentle scrub with a soft toothbrush. If the water damage happened more than a couple of days ago and it wasn't thoroughly dried out immediately chances are corrosion has already set in and it won't be fixable.
Also water damage can also affect the LCD/digitizer, battery, dock connector so if you have them to hand after you've cleaned the logic board it's handy.
I personally wouldn't use nail varnish remover, high purity Isopropyl is about the only thing that doesn't leave a residue behind.
