Most repairers stay away from water damaged devices since the labor cost exceeds the economic value of the device. The success rate for a water damage repair is pretty slim. Some shops specialize on this type of repair for data recovery, but the cost is accordingly high.
For now, you must stop continuing to try to charge, sync or otherwise use your phone. This potentially can make a bad situation worse. This may further damage your phone.
The very first step I would take is to disassemble your phone. Use the guides from here [[Topic:Galaxy S23 Ultra]] to disassemble your phone. Remove the main board and the charging board. You will have to remove all the EMI shields from the main-board (some need to be desolder while others just pop open with the help of a small screw driver). If you do not remove the shields, you are not cleaning the boards. My personal preference is to replace the charging board since it is usually inexpensive and readily available. This will always rule that board out as the cause for any issues. It provides for a known-well starting point for any further troubleshooting.
Take a close look at all components and connectors. Look for any signs of corrosion, evaluate the pins in the connectors etc,. Take a look at all connectors as well as cable ends. . Once you got any gross contamination cleaned, use 90%+ isopropyl alcohol and clean your parts some more. For a proper cleaning, use [guide|5825|this guide.] It was written for an Apple iPhone 3G but all the steps are still pertinent to your phone as well. I can not stress the importance of a good cleaning enough, so do it over and over while replacing the alcohol after each cleaning.
Do not use compressed air for the cleaning since that can drive liquid as well as corrosion particles into areas that will cause trouble later on. You do not need to leave it to dry for a day. Isopropyl alcohol in the higher concentration will evaporate quickly and dissipate the water.
The importance here is the cleaning. It would of course be best to get it ultrasonically cleaned Do not forget to replace the battery. This is a must and not an option. It will fail if you do not take care of it now.
After that, reassemble your phone and re-evaluate. For as long as you have not cleaned your board and replaced the battery, everything is just a guess. Keep in mind that water damage is the hardest to troubleshoot and to repair. It does not matter if is was exposed for 2 seconds or 2 hours, what matters is where the water (particulates) did the damage.
