iPhone 5 Teardown

Jan 2, 2014

Hi I have water damage on my iPhone 5 and I would like to fix it.

I've read your water damage guide and I didn't understand if you can/have to clean all the parts where there's some corrosion visible or just the logic board and LCD? Will it help if I clean everything with a cloth moistened in isopropyl alcohol?

Thanks, and I commented here because the last article about water damage is very old and outdated it's on the iPhone 3G so I posted on this active guide.
