iPhone 4 - Water damaged - Need help - GSM-Forum

SC400slide · 01-30-2014, 23:21

iPhone 4 GSM A1332
Water damage, screen has no display even with new screen.
At first I would try a restore and I'd get error 4005. I heated up the Toshiba NAND chip really hot (in general, the entire motherboard), then put the phone in the freezer for 20 minutes then restored cold. The phone restored correctly (with no display of course) and directly aftter the phone wont recognized in iTunes nor will the display work with a new screen. I could start by cleaning the contacts. Also, something else to note, the flashlight by the camera has been very dimly on the entire time.

Any help is really thanked.

BEFORE heating up NAND, error 4005 when restoring

AFTER heating up NAND then cooling off in freezer, succesfully restored, nothing showed on screen ever, and the phone is not recognized as soon as after the message said it was done restoring it.

Any advice? Thanks!

SC400slide · 02-01-2014, 06:19

Ok so I got it to recognize in itunes. Still no display though. After the itunes ssays succesful restore, the iphone wont boot back up.

SC400slide · 02-01-2014, 06:39

Ok, Now the iPhone is recognized in iTunes aafter a succesful restore in RECOVERY MODE only. Any ideas?

SC400slide · 02-01-2014, 16:23

So another update. All night I left the phone in a dock (That wasnt plugged in) and I woke up early to find out the LCD was bright white. What does this mean? Does anybody ahve any ideas?

Stop heating up the board, and freezing, you need to learn how to repair correctly.

SC400slide · 02-01-2014, 22:17

I only did that once. I cannot learn if nobody is helping though!!

Another update on the phone, I got the screen to work. It restores successfully, then turns off to turn back on in recovery mode. I would appreciate some "helpful" input please.

Not just "go punch a wall" crap.

Thank you.

Does the home button work ok? Remove DZ10 from dock connector.

Thanks for reply. The home button works fine. What will removing DZ10 do? Where is it? Sorry, I'm learning in this feield of handsets.

You need to download the schematics, here on forum, Sometimes home button causes recovery loop, when shorted, but yours is fine, so no need to remove.

dog68 · 02-02-2014, 00:22

Have you tried tiny umbrella to kick it out of recovery? or ireb. it may work.

SC400slide · 02-02-2014, 23:10

No...good idea. I use TinyUmbrella so I just might try that. (Ran into the same issue again, wont restore with error 4005...

) Thanks for the help. I also need help with a couple other iphones...I made threads on them. Thnx
