i had bought a water damaged 6230 for only $15, i took it to a repair shop where they charged me $80. The problem was that there was Corrosions by the main power supply. Try locating a PCS repair center near you

try to clean the set with ultrasonic cleaner, if not work try reflow flash, ram, app. ram, tiku upp, helga,small dc-dc conv. near batt connector, try full flash etc.

I have repaired many water damaged phones.Do this:
1) Remove all parts from pcb (which can be removed without soldering)
2) Put pcb into ultrasonic cleaner
3) Clean pcb with isopropylalcohol
4) If needed use FLUX to resolder contacts
5) Clean pcb with isopropylalcohol
6) Fullflash phone

For me 75% success!

There is no solution for water demage phones. Only right solution for water demages is change the phone. But you can try to clean it.

yes, there are a lot of repair solutions for water damaged phones like cleaning with ultrasonic, reballing ic's, locating the most affected zone, cleaning it from oxydes wich short connections, rebuilding broken track's etc..

The most important thing...an water damaged phone presents no more warranty of correct functionality in the future...
