Hey guys.. Okay so my brother's phone got wet while he was on a trip, and left the battery in it the entire time until he got home (about 2 or 3 days). Anyway, I got the phone to turn on, and works normally through ADB and I can get screenshots of the phone. BUT, the screen does not light up or appear to work whatsoever. When held up to a light, though, you can see the little tv screen animation when you lock and unlock.
What works: Touch, headphone jack, wifi, front buttons, volume buttons, camera and speaker buttons, SD card, power button, accelerometer, GPS, proximity sensor
What doesn't work: Placing/receiving calls (call lost), 3G data (the antenna averages -120 dBm), speaker, camera (cannot connect to camera), LCD screen (i put the screen into my phone, and the backlight worked, but nothing could be seen because mine is the older model.)
When taking it apart, there was a lot of blue-colored residue all over the board underneath the metal shielding. It was around a pool according to him, so it might be chlorine possibly. I doubt it can be saved, but just wondering if anyone would know exactly what has failed.
