Long story short my phone was fully submerged in a craft beer for about 3 seconds. I turned it off within a minute or two, took the back cover off and tried to dry it out as best as I could. Took it home within a couple hours and placed it in the closest substance I had to rice which was oats. Left it for 24 hrs before attempting to turn it on. It turned on, but I have no display on the screen, it is entirely black except for when I do turn it on, I can tell its on because a slight glow emanates from the corner when I look at it from a certain angle. The touchscreen feature also works because I can feel the vibrate when I do the pattern to unlock my phone. Now I can't turn it off again and was wondering about replacing components myself, does anyone know which component I might have to replace? I was thinking of taking it apart to clean all the connections with rubbing alcohol and giving it a better dry would this do anything? Any suggestions on how to fix this without getting a new phone? Thanks. And insurance or warranty are NOT options.
