My Alcatel One Touch 5054S got dunked in water. After 3 days in moisture-sucking rice, I think it still works (for instance, alarms go off - I can even turn them off by swiping the screen in the right spot, and I can connect to a Windows machine and see the drives), but I get no display other than a very faint light. I’ve located replacement screens, but those sources cannot furnish screen replacement instructions, and I’ve been unable to otherwise locate some.
before investing in a new screen lets deal with the moisture damage properly . Get it out of the rice rice is useless . Its a myth it does nothing but adds to the damage the phone has already sustained . Take the phone apart and clean it completely Clean every connection with a soft toothbrush. As well clean the logic board; use a 99% isopropyl alcohol for all cleaning. Now is the time to start drying out the phone. Set the screen in a desiccant or silica gel leave it in for several days moving it from time to time to get the max effect from the desiccant. Use a blow dryer on a low heat setting to dry the rest of the phone. Only use a hair dryer once you have cleaned the phone completely with the alcohol. Do not attempt to dry the phone if it’s still wet with water with the blow dryer as this only spreads the water. Replace the battery with a new one considers the old ones done. Clean again with isopropyl alcohol let dry and when you think everything is clean and dry reassemble the phone (make sure to clean the contacts on the screen after removing from the desiccant). Once you’ve reassembled the phone it’s time to power it on. Hold your breath and hope for the best If the phone does not power on look for burn spots on the board as you may have shorted the phone . It may require further time in replacing blow chips or resistors
If the phone still works, here is a video (in Spanish) for changing the LCD. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7SsqGApS…
