Chosen Solution
Hello! I have a Samsung galaxy a-10e here that got drowned in a pool. It dried out, and I took out the boards, scrubbed them in 70% isopropyl alcohol, and dried it using a blow drier. When I plug it in, the flashlight comes on, but nothing else. Anyone know what I can do to fix that? And I should get 99.9 percent right? edit: I just ordered an ultrasonic cleaner and that’s on the way
Hi @apple_fixnoah , Did you remove any shields that are covering some components, you didn’t say? Water may have got in under there as well. It also might depend on what other additives were in with the 70% IPA and whether or not they leave conductive residues when dry. 99+% IPA is definitely the better option if possible. In the interim it may be best to not attempt to charge it or to turn it on and to disconnect the battery from the systemboard and wait until the ultrasonic cleaner arrives and use it and then check.
