Hi i bought a iphone 3g dead i disasembeled it and found water damage io and around the LTC4088-2 battery charger/USB controller chip

I have used the ultrasonic bath and scrubed the board up like new reasembled the iphone but its still dead nothing when the charger is pluged and nothing through the battrey as it also dea reading 0.01v
