Need Help Please!

[Trickerations]

So recently I dropped my iPhone 3gs in a pool. I took it apart and fixed it by getting rid of the corrosion. Surprisingly, the phone worked 100% for around 3 weeks. Now this happened yesterday. Whats wrong any help? Only thing I can think of a cable came loose in the inside.

Your LCD is damaged. Just replace it with a new one. Or open up the phone and check all cables are secured to their corresponding connectors.

Checked my 1,2,and 3 cables all seemed fine. Took them out and put them back on again just to make sure. Did this 3 times. Whats the next step to fix it? Why would this happen?

It would happen most likely because you dropped your phone, tool it apart, and and put it back together.

3GS aw exactly the newest phones out there. Is the phone relatively old?

But yeah...chances are the screen go damaged in some way between dropping it and putting it back together again. What else could it be besides actually figuring out the "exact" cause...which is unlikely that anyone would know the exact cause of that.

I would really give up on trying to figure that out...unless your into tinkering with electronics I guess. I would just say....eh..guess the screen is broke...guess I'll buy a new one now. But that's just me.

Hopefully tho...someone with more experience with 3GS's....unlike myself..might be able to tell ya how to fix it without buying a new screen...who knows. But would having a nice new screen in that phone be nice?

I agree with zigg. If you already know how to take it apart and put it back together why not just buy a new LCD and replace it. eBay and amazon sell cheap oem parts. Unless you are planning on upgrading soon. It's basically your preference.

Hate to pester, but i have one more question. Which of these products do I need.The whole screen or just the LCD.Do these seem like good deals. I am not very educated with electronics.

Honestly, I would go for the whole screen replacement. It's not more cost and I think you will have less problems when putting it all back together. Goodluck!

If you want to replace the whole front, it's your choice. I would myself just go with the Whole assembly, just because it saves the hassle of putting on the LCD. If you have the money I recommend the full assembly. But you know how to assemble and dissemble so buying just the LCD should be no problem either. Your iPhone would of course look nicer with a new screen with no scratches or anything.
