Dropped my phone in sea water, now it won't turn on

I dropped my LG G6 in sea water and it was retrieved after half an hour. Now it won’t turn on. I tried cleaning the ports and drying as well. It has been 5 days already since the phone was dropped in water. Would it be possible to retrieve the photos from the phone if I took it to a technician?

After 5 days, you’re odds are getting lower and lower. If you want to try something yourself, then do the following:

  • Open your phone and remove the logic board (follow this guide)
  • Inspect the logic board, especially around the connectors and look for corrosion.
  • Inspect both sides of the board. Unfortunately, most of the board is covered in shields. That's usually where the damage is occurring.
  • Put your board in a container with >90% isopropyl alcohol and let it sit for a while.
  • Use a soft brush, like a toothbrush and lightly brush away any corrosion you see.
  • Rinse in alcohol and repeat.
  • Let it air dry for a day.
  • Re-assemble and hope for the best.

 A professional repair shop that does water damage repair may be able to recover your phone or the data because they have access to pro-level ultrasonic baths and specialized cleaners as well as the skills to troubleshoot your board. Many shops have a no fix/no fee policy so you don't have to spend money to find out if the phone is fixable or not.
