So after fixing my water damaged Note 3 with isopropyl alcohol, I decided to press my luck a little and do another round in the alcohol and dried it with rice. I did this because a tiny portion of the screen remained purple/bruised (like when you press down on any screen). I was hoping another bath in the alcohol would help.
Well the phone still turns on and the speakers work. The LED light turns on and everything boots... except the screen does not turn on. Could I have damaged something with this 2nd bath in the isopropyl alcohol? That's strange, right? I didn't think isopropyl alcohol would damage anything as it does not conduct electricity (and it worked after the 1st bath).
I have placed it back in the rice in hopes that maybe something with the screen just didn't dry off well enough?
