Ubports edition shows nothing on screen after liquid exposure
#1
Sad 
I've been using my PinePhone Ubports edition with much success for the last few weeks, but last night I think it was exposed to too much liquid. I laid out a bunch of things from my backpack and sprayed bleach cleaner over them (because the plague). After I dried things off, I tried to charge and boot my PinePhone (stupid, I know) and all I got to was a backlit black screen. The backlight turned on and off a few times pretty systematically. I typically use Mobian, but I tried booting into Ubports as well. Nothing...not even the Pine64 logo showed up. When I insert or remove the USB cable, however, the phone plays a clicking sound effect, which makes me think the thing might not be completely dead. Not sure if this matters, but the phone was in a pretty hot environment for the preceding hour and AFAIK had exhausted its battery when I cleaned it.

If anyone has troubleshooting ideas, shoot.

If anyone knows what part I might have shorted/destroyed, let me know.

Thank you in advance for your wisdom! Smile
