    Motherboard layout of other versions?

    I use my old S3 for my toddler's entertainment. Recently I found it after months of not knowing where it was... under the fridge. I think it must have got water damage under there because the volume on the speaker is extremely low now. If I put my ear up to the speaker I can faintly hear it...
