Thanks Mitch, we may have escaped with just a little inconvenience, but I need to evaluate further.
Bought some tools, watched a couple YouTube videos, printed out an iRevive screw chart, took it all apart and cleaned/rinsed/soaked liberally with isopropyl alcohol, scrubbed off the two corrosion spots (one at battery connection, one at what I think is the screen connection), dried with a blow drier and put it all back together. The dock connection and charging cable also had a little green corrosion going on, so a little Deoxit there did the trick. Hurray!!! The phone seems to be charging, gives the battery charging symbol when plugged in, but very faint like the screen is not getting any back-light. I'll let it charge a bit, then try to turn on and access via USB cable to PC. At a minimum, getting all my wife's contacts off the phone would be huge. I recently downloaded/saved all the pictures/videos (about a month ago) so not too much video record may have been lost. -Max _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com All posts are the result of individual contributors and as such, those individuals are responsible for the content of the post.
