I accidently submerged my iPhone 4S in the washing machine for about 30 seconds. Can someone please explain how to remove the metal frame covering the flash chip to clean any corrosion (I’ve removed all the EMI shields already)? I see the frame removed in the ifixit teardown, but not how it was removed. Thank you, Jason
Hi jason5, thanks for your question! Following our iPhone 4S Display Assembly Guide should get your iPhone nearly completely disassembled. Once you have everything opened up, you’ll want to follow the cleaning steps outlined in our Electronics Water Damage page. Good luck!
