Default Brake cleaner fixed my cell

I took my cell apart today, The screen was going dim and the phone would shut off on its own. I took it apart and washed the board in brake clean. Weird is not my phone works really well screen is bright. Must have been some protein in my phoneh:

Brake Cleaner is some magical shit. At work we have a giant drum of it and we get these canisters to put them in and we can charge them with air so they spray brake clean out of them since we use it so much.

Thinking about how at Rolls Royce we used to soak starters in the crap to get the junk off before we rebuilt them. I figured is was worth a shot, the phone was near death.

Probably battery contacts. My old POS Nokia did that. Take the battery off and clean everything with the eraser end of a pencil. Don't know about the screen but if brake cleaner worked, hey.
