Chosen Solution

Hi I’ve a water damaged 2nd Gen 32gb. Was only slightly wet due to my toothing son sticking it in his mouth. Screen does not work at all, I-Tunes recognises the device, and music on the device plays when on my JBL dock. Any idea’s? Thanks

I get the idea that the liquid could have damaged the connection between the screen and the logic board. Maybe a cleaning of the socket will help. Other possible causes could be the screen itself being damaged, or something on the motherboard malfunctioning. The screen can be replaced (not cheap) so can the motherboard (not cheap either). But if the malfunction is caused by corrosion, then cleaning with a suitable chemical, might fix it.
