main board damaged by water

[giallu]

Hi,

I've my Htc P3600 that is not working at all. It has got water inside after a rainy day; it was in my pocket but my pants haven't been usefull enough.
Htc itself told me that the mainboard is damaged by oxide and the device is not repairable. Of course the warranty doesn't work for this case; I've already tried . At this point I wanna try by my self.
Do you know where can I found a new main board, how to replace and to download the sw??

I appreciate your help in advance...P.S. the device was bought 6 mounths ago :(

well... unless anything was fried...

What happens is that water attack the most sensitive part of the board ... the small traces... they are very thin and corrode easily...

UNLESS something else got fried like a chip or smth... all you need to do is rebuild the traces that got damaged...

it's a nasty job... even for a profi... and you must have special equipment to do it...

or you can take an assurance for breakness accidently...I've done it, and when my phone has falled in the water, i've got a new one...that's great!

I know it's an hard work to restore the traces also because I haven't any special equipment or tools to do it...That's why I need a new mainboard...
I appreciate your help...

P.S. now it is too late for the full assurance....
