Hey all, just wanted to see if there was any great software you have come across for repairs? I know i would be LOST...

Gday Pigg, the iPhone 8 isn't waterproof to begin with, Its only IP67. Using canned air on a wet phone could actually force liquid in, especially if it had enough pressure to inflate the phone. Air should escape/enter the phone easier than liquid. I would avoid taking your phone in the shower... use that 10 mins for yourself. All the best mate.

Long screw damage. Classic 5S symptoms. Very tricky micro work, best of luck.

There are a lot of separate issues here, i would recommend wiping the phone and restoring it. Make sure you are on the latest iOS. At least then you will be able to eliminate the chance of a software fault. You would be surprised how often this works.

Sounds like a faulty battery or charger. Try a new cable, plug and power point. If still no luck try a new battery. Worst case would be the battery connector on the logicboard may need repair/replacement. Best of luck!

Have you tried replacing the charge flex? There could be a contact problem where the tapic engine and the contact points on the flex. Just a suggestion :)
