    Markism Spartacus
    Ive had my phone water damaged since august 09' as i was on my motorbike in the rain for 5 hours. my phone was still on but the home button had no reponse.
    after being gutted that my iphone was shagged i decided to fix it my self as apple was asking £146 roughly $300 to fix that 1 button.
    i brought a kit from ebay and had the iphone off for about 3-4 days while my new homebutton and tool kit arrived. the day it all arives i turn my phone on and what do you no, the button works again.
    but now i have no sound its something that went as soon as it got wet but i didnt think about that as i was to worried about my phone being completly bust.
    i left the new home button aside as the original works and still does now, but since august ive had the most annoying popup on my phone " this accessorry is not made for iphone" etc bs. and sometimes its non stop.
    i took it apart not so long ago quite a few times to try and fix it but the last time i slipt and i got the openning tool wedged under my screen which made it break.
    i got a new screen off ebay ( gotta love ebay )
    repaired it just 2 days ago and for that message which pops up, i stripped my iphone to the battery and i found corrosion on the black bit that connects to the iphones motherboard the bit that contains your mic, charging connector etc. so as i was so annoyed with this popup i really couldnt care if i bust my phone or not so i just litterally dunked it in vodka just to get it as pissed as i was :) then i got my toothbrush and scrubed both connectors for about 2 minutes. and what do you no i turn it on and the message appears and i have no sound ( sound comes back on in its own time always does ) and that was the last time i saw that message so its fixed thank christ. i do have something wrong still and ive seen this about before but. after putting my phone back together my camera dont work and my speaker where you listen to people in a call dont work.
    there must be something you have to do to tell these 2 things to work again. Any1 have any ideas on how to get my recieving speaker to work i couldnt care less about the camera. pleaseee help ! :D
