Greetings,
I don't know too much about electronics, hence I'm going to ask some possibly dumb questions.
Early this year I stepped into swamp with my Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro in my pocket while being drunk. The phone died and due to lack of time etc. I just got myself a new one. I would like to find out if it's possible to repair it though.
It's 99% dead, the only responsive thing about this phone is that sometimes when plugged to a wall, a red diode lights up (I think I never saw it glowing red before, it was glowing yellow when charging contrary to many phones).
The battery had no visible signs of being destroyed. Inside the phone, the upper part (photo #2, red square) where most electronic parts are was 100% dry. The PCB with charging port/microphone etc has some possible traces of moisture though (photo #1, blue circle).
Do you think it's possible that replacing that socket would bring the phone back to life? Or it doesn't work that way and a short circuit on USB socket could ruin the phone totally?
Also one more thing - I had some of the data backed up but not all of it. It's not important enough for me to pay somebody else for recovering it but I'd probably like to try to recover it in my free time, mostly for educational purposes, if I can't bring the phone back to life. How could I recover it on my own?
Regards
