data recovery on damaged S8+

kalalastocks  okay so not much on this went well for you. You do already know that for as long your phone doe snot turn on you cannot recover anything from the phone. No matter what any software will promise your.

Let’s start with a DIY approach. For now stop continuing to try to charge, sync or otherwise use your phone. This potentially can make a bad situation worse.This may further damage your phone.

The next thing to do is to clean it. Disassemble your phone using Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus these guides . You must remove all EMI shields. If you do not remove those, you might as well not do anything. After you removed those, clean the whole board, connectors and all with +90% isopropyl alcohol. Follow this guide , and even so it was written for an Apple iPhone 3G all the points are still pertinent to your phone. While you clean your board, check for any obvious damage, like burned or missing components etc. When it is properly cleaned, replace the battery. All these steps are to avoid delayed failure caused by corrosion. Best thing to do would be to clean it with an ultrasonic cleaner, but if you do not have access to one, this will at least help. Once all this is done, reassemble your phone and reevaluate. Until it is cleaned, everything will only be a guess. Even with all this, water damage has only a small chance to be fully repaired, but at least you can give it a try since you really only need it long enough to power up etc. to get to the files.

If you figure that this is not up your alley consider, using microsolder specialist like @refectio or @arbaman to see what else could be done.
