I would like to attempt to repair my sons Verizon Samsung S3, Model #SCH-i535.
The phone has been handled roughly. Im pretty sure it has been dropped at least once. Possibly multiple times.
The screen glass is cracked, but not broken out at any point, and the water damage indicator on the battery and phone are showing their red x's.
I was able to charge the battery, and turn the phone on. The led, back key, and menu key all light. And the boot up sounds can be heard. But the screen remains blank. No sign of life in it at all.
I found a u-tube video which shows how to clean an S3 with water damage to get it working again. I'd like to know if that's a real possibility, or is there something else I could/should try to bring the screen back to life. I have been reading through the forum, and right now, I'm suffering from information overload! Some sound advice would be appreciated.
