Iphone 4 battery broken, shows apple logo but won't turn on while plugged in?
So I have a junk iphone that I dropped in a sink, the back cover was completely off because I dropped it so many times and the front was missing large pieces and was cracked to hell from dropping it. When I first dropped it in the sink, it seemed completely fried (sizzled for a bit), but after letting it sit and air out for 3 days, the iphone logo turns on when plugged in but can't load up… I put it in rice for 2 days, and it still does the same thing. The battery is broken because when I first dropped it I rushed to get the battery out and broke the cable connecting the two. If I replace the battery, will the phone work? I think it will. I have a new screen and back I ordered months ago and if I can get this problem fixed I will have a like-new iphone.
It sounds like that would be the next step. Repairing a water damaged device is a matter of trial and error. You replace the most relevant part(s) based on the symptoms until you have fixed all problems. However, if the logic board was destroyed, which can sometimes be the case with water damage, the device is beyond repair.
A quality company I recommend is:

They carry the highest quality replacement parts and tools and provide great video tutorials.

- My Iphone 4 shows a full charge while plugged into charged but empty when unplugged? I have an Iphone 4 that won't charge. However, when I plug it into the wall charger, computer or car charger it shows that it is 100% charged. Once I remove it from the charger (any of them) it shows the battery is empty. Has anyone had this problem and can you help with a solution? I have tried a full restore, hard reboot, etc. Nothing fixes this problem.
