I was wondering what are the symptoms of having a liquid/water-damaged phones apart from the symptoms that are visable such as condensation on the pcb.

The reason I was asking was because I bought a faulty nokia 6630 and the fault was that when you truned on the phone, the screen was showed up white. I initially thought it was a bad flash so i took it to get reflashed.

4 weeks later, the phone comes back to me and the shop owner said "your phone is water-damaged beyond repair" there was no visual proof that it was and he didnt explain it in further detail so I was just wondering. Any thoughts would be welcome.
