If the camera’s phone application is not working the problem may lie in the motherboard of the phone. If so then the phone may need to be taken to your local store to be checked. You can also follow the LG Neon Motherboard Replacement Guide to remove and replace the motherboard.

*Water Damage

If you think your phone is water damaged, then check the strip on the battery. To remove the battery, follow the LG Neon Battery Replacement Guide. You will see a white or pink/red strip. If the strip is white then that part is not water damaged. If the strip is pink or red then your battery and most likely the rest of the phone is water damaged. If your battery is water damaged and unresponsive, then try using a new battery before replacing the phone.

If phone is not working, then here is a technique used by many. Soak your phone in 99% Isopropyl alcohol for about two hours. Once you have done that, put your phone in a bag of uncooked rice for a few hours. In this stage the rice will absorb all the moisture and hopefully restore your phone. If your phone is not fixed then your phone should be taken to a local store for evaluation.
