iPhone 14 Pro Max, Green Screen with Water Damage, Apple (Partner) wont fix

[cmanca]

I was using my iPhone to play music by a pool. It was in the sun for a long time and fell into the water. It gave me the Lime Green Screen, but I can tell the phone is still working as it makes noises when it gets mail, app notifications etc. I live in a town that doesnt have an Apple Store, so Apple directs you to their authorized partner, Best Buy. Best Buy took the phone, but determined their was water damage so they can not / would not fix it.
I believe it is only the screen. I am willing to assume the risk, as their is data I want to get off of it, that is not backed up. Do you have any recommendations on who I might be able to send or take the phone to for repair of the screen?
Thanks in advance for any advice

Your best bet would be a third party repair shop.. They'll open the phone and tell you how bad the damage is and you can decide how to proceed

Problem with the iPhone's is that they are not waterproof, apple never give you a warranty if the device have a contact with damage. But sometimes the problem is with a screen like you said. Probably new screen can solve the problem but you must to search service that don't have authorization by Apple but they can make a profesional repair on a OG components.

Thanks for your feedback. I found a 3rd party who opened up the phone. He said ultimately that the water damage was too extensive. So... parts on Ebay.
Non the less I appreciate your suggestions and quick response!

Sometimes the white indicator patch indide the SIM tray slot shows red which doesn’t need dismsntling to diagnose water ingress, but there lot more indicators inside, An iphone with water inside is a dead iphone, or one which will die a slow death.
