Water damage.. what can i do.. | Zflip 6

Lvl 0 (DIYer) Where do I start with this repair? Can it be Fixd?

I didnt know whether to put this in lvl 0 or 2, sorry.

Just repaired my inner flex screen for my Zflip 6. Unfortunately, i heard they replaced seals when they replace the screen, and i didn't know that it meant that the device WOULDN'T be as water resistant, i thought the opposite

Anyways, the phone powered on and off automatically during damage and it shorted my screen (the one they repaired, my back screen seems to be fine). My cover screen shows my wallpaper and from what ive seen from little tidbits of video output is that my storage and all my data is fine

Im trying to recover my photos. The phone seems to be working fine but it wont give any output when connected to a hdmi usb hub. It displays for half second when i open the screen then cuts off. Theres also random touch inputs (not from me) from what i can feel, so the screen doesnt work with touch either.

What can i do here? Is it the hub? Or is the screen just giving out? It shows for literally half a second then blacks out (the hdmi output, the physical screen is black the entire time. Its dead). Is replacing my screen enough?

I really just want my photos, ive already ordered a new phone. I cant transfer anything without allowing permissions but i cant allow since theres no video output. The photos are valuable to me because i just graduated college
