After much poking around, I think I've found the connector that's suffered some water damage when my iPhone 3GS got drowned recently (connector 4).
I can see a bit of white stuff around some of the connections on the motherboard and on the plug. What's the best way to clean this off?

Well I'd say that the damage you will be looking for is what you can't see, under any components etc. Brian
I use a fibreglass PCB cleaning brush from Maplin. As Brian has said, though, there may well be damage that's out of sight under the connector.
A good look through a high powered magnifying glass may let you see it.
If you didn't remove all batteries immediately and dry it quickly, there will be other damage, I'd bet.
Ha! Try removing the battery from an iPhone quickly! ;-)
Despite this problem, iPhones do seem to survive immersion relatively well compared to some phones.
