Sea Salt Water Damage, Denatured Alcohol?

My phone was submerged in the Atlantic Ocean for about 5 minutes, and it powered on at first, but when it dried and we tried to charge it, it got exceptionally hot. We have not got it to power in since. Taking off the screen revealed accumulations of salt, but no other internal damages, until my brother accidentally severed the connecting cable from the front facing camera to the rest of the phone.

I was wondering if soaking it in denatured alcohol would do any good, and if I should reattach the screen and how long I should soak it etc.

The goal is to obtain a usb connection so I can use a data recovery application to get my pictures off of it, so if anyone else has alternatives measures, let me know. Thanks!

DO NOT SUBMERGE IT IN ALCOHOL. You most likely fried a lot of components by turning it on and attempting to charge it. You can try to find spots of corrosion and clean up with a tooth brush and 99% isopropyl alcohol but odds are there may be a lot of shorts in it. Excess heat typically means a short. If I were you, I’d send it to a professional. Jessa Jones of iPad Rehab is a renowned expert in iPhone data recovery and she accepts mail in repairs.
