Hi, I have a predicament. I have a water damaged Samsung S9+ and instead of the cost of repair was contemplating purchasing a working fully refurbished S9+ and just swapping the motherboard from the damaged phone into the refurbished phone. As long as the motherboard is not damaged will this work. Is all the phones data kept on the motherboard? Will the IMEI number of damaged phone conflict with the refurbished phone? As it is easy to take out the motherboard and cheaper to buy a fully working refurbished S9+ phone will swapping the motherboard and SIM transfer all my stored data onto the refurbished phone? Is it that straight-forward or not?
You can swap the motherboard but you need to have a n ultrasonic board which clears the minerals of the the water from the motherboard so ultrasonic board kills all the minerals. it should kinda work BUt not sure about the data stored
