When water gets into electronic devices it establishes new paths for current
to flow. Pure water is an insulator but (practically speaking) there is no
such thing as pure water. Your phone has new and unwanted paths for current
to flow.
I understand that, of course
Deionized water can be used to flush circuit boards, but this is
hardly is a viable path for you. Your phone is contaminated and might
become more disabled as time progresses. Or, it could dry out and heal!
It *is* now dry, after 3 weeks or so, I guess. Or is it not? water still
left?
Or do you imply that even after water is evaporated some mineral salts are
left and create new circuits? in that case, things would be a (simple..!)
matter of rinsing, right?
The point is, the phone is functional, only the display is not althought
it's lit. So its only the display command circuits that don't work.
Nothing I can do?
