iphone 4 overheating warning: how do I stop it

[thebravery]

I dropped my phone in water and ever since then it's been giving me a "Your iphone must cool down" message. I let it dry for a few days and replaced the battery, but no dice.

Is there any way I can replace/disable the sensor? Does any one know where it's located?

Your phone is damaged. Most probably the main board chip is damaged. You would need an entire new main board to solve this.

Do you think it's worth taking apart the main board to try to determine exactly what's damaged?

No.

No.

I did anyway. I unclipped the silver shields off the board and then cleaned the whole thing with isopropyl alcohol. And whad'ya know... it worked like a charm.

Your iphone is hot, put it back inside some ice water
