Long story short I got my iphone 4s wet and it wouldn't turn on. About an hour later I got it in rice and left it there over night. It still wouldn't turn on the next day so i tried to vacuum the water out and then left it in rice again over night. In the morning I plugged in the phone and it turned on! The only problem was if i took the charger out it would shut off, the flash wont work, and it can't find any signal including wifi (just says "searching..." in the top corner).
I have yet to take it apart but the 2 external water damage indicator strips are red.
I'm planning on buying a new battery but I don't know what to purchase that will fix the signal searching thing. Anything will be appreciated. I really don't want to and can't afford to straight up replace it with a new one. If you think you know what I need to buy to fix it please tell me.
