How much do I need to pay for repairing phone which got flooded? It's a pixel 6, I've opened it, and saw some corrosion on the MB. It does not react to power button, nor to plugging it to the charger.

I could not find motherboard on Ifixit, but maybe someone tried to repair such a damage via Google themselves?

via Google themselves?

Not sure which country you are in but you can try to look that up via Google's website, e.g. in the U.S. you can browse to https://store.google.com/us/magazine/repaircenter & go through the steps to see what quote they give you.

Not sure how that would work if you're out of warranty but the website should be able to tell you those options.

Holy smokes, here is the quote from Google: Estimated cost*: €479.70 (incl. 19% VAT) I would say- quite a lot.

Damn at that point i'd get a refurbished replacement instead or maybe go on ebay to see if you can find a unit thats just for parts. Also doesnt hurt to get a quote from a third party repair shop thats local to you before you do anything
