My mother ran her iPhone 5s through the washing machine by accident a couple months ago and I just got around to trying to fix it. I opened it up and removed the front display and the battery. Is there anyway I can test components like the battery to tell if they are non functional? I’d only like to order parts that I know need to be replaced.
its more likely that components will be damaged, so dont even put in a new battery because it might make matters worse. if you want it repaired send it to someone that repairs liquid damaged phones
Before you put any new components in the device. You must test to make sure the motherboard is still working after you do a proper liquid damage cleaning. If her motherboard shorted then any new component you plug into that motherboard run the risk of being shorted out like the motherboard it self.
