iPhone 16 Pro Max submerged underwater
hello! please help me out. i was with my bf's fam when my phone got submerged in 6-8 seawater for about 10-15 minutes. pagka ahon sa tubig naoopen pa rin siya, front and back cam were working perfectly fine. i let it rest for around 30 mins (di ko napower off, i really didn't know what to do) tapos after that binasa ko ng fresh water because inadvise ng parents ng bf ko. (p.s due to limited resources kasi nasa roro kami, hindi ko nababad sa rice or silica gel. after 3 or 4 hours ko na nababad kasi bumyahe kami sa island) after that, his younger brother advised me to water eject the phone. he airdroped a shortcut sakin tapos ayun winater eject ko nga, then nagpopower off siya bigla. napansin ko rin na umiinit then after 3 water ejects nag green screen na siya totally. finorce shut down nalang namin tapos nag notif sa apple watch ko na finorce shut down yung device and when we got home after 4 days i tried charging the phone sa bahay, pero umiinit lang siya and di na nagfifire up yung screen.
dinala ko muna siya sa trusted shop na mainly nagfofocus sa pag-ayos ng apple gadgets, kaso the cost was around 60k kaya hindi ako nag-go kasi parang bumili nalang din sana ako ng new unit. they were recommending me to repair the logic board, back case, middle frame, lcd, and camera. alsoo take note pinaiwan nila yung unit so i wasn't able to ask much questions.
i brought it sa greenhills yesterday and nung sinalpakan ng replacement lcd nag work siya however i wasnt able to check yung cameras and everything else because nung inask ko, sabi nung technician may titignan daw muna sila. and ayun they adviced me na to repair the housing, kukunin motherboard, battery and everything na nagffire up ng phone ko and ililipat sa ibang katawan. para rin daw maayos function ng buttons.
i consulted some people and they said if pwede bang yung lcd nalang muna ayusin kasi kung maayos naman yung unit nung nakuha underwater at nung pinalitan lcd, maybe hindi na need palitan yung housing. kasi kung mababasa naman daw ang motherboard then hindi na siya dapat nagwowork. baka daw kasi iniiscam lang ako para makuha original housing ko. sabi rin nung tech, yung baba lang daw pinasok ng tubig kaya ganiyan itsura nung baba. alsoo, he asked me kung brand new ba yung phone nung nakuha ko kasi bakit nga raw papasukin ng tubig kung bnew, kaya napaisip din ako (bnew siya nakuha).
for context, this is what the unit looks like
pls help me outtt, i need more suggestions. sa sunday ako babalik ng gh para ipaayos
