Hi,
I've got an iphone 3gs that I'm trying to repair for a friend who accidentally dropped it in some water
Before handing it over to me it wasn't working at all, it wouldn't charge, wouldn't turn on, nothing. I took it apart cleaned all the contacts and got it up and running mostly. Its now suffering from a White Screen and the Power button doesn't work. When I plug the phone into itunes it starts to charge and itunes recognises it. Also when there is a white screen I can unlock the phone and lock the phone no problem. If I hold the home button down long enough it tries to accept a voice dialling command.
The thing is I replaced the flex cable for the power button, headphone jack, etc which worked the first time - I pressed it and got a white screen. After that first time its now gone back to how it was - I press it and nothing happens.
Is it possible that the power button is shorting out? Is there a remedy for this? I don't want to spend more to replace the LCD if the power button keeps shorting......
Is there another fix for a white screen on the LCD, apart from replacing it?
