Isopropyl alcohol will not cause your phone to behave like it is. You seem to be having multiple failure points, the volume button assembly and the dock assembly. You have defiantly damaged the volume and power button components either the connector or more likely the flex that goes under the battery. Your headphone jack problem might be caused by the above but it wouldn’t hurt to get a replacement dock assembly with your replacement power button assembly.

Can Siri hear you?  If she can your problem will be the charge port flex as it has a couple of microphones on it. If Siri cannot hear you it might be a board level issue.

There is one line that needs to be checked “BB_SIM1_DETECT_E” That is the circuit that tells the phone that there is a sim inserted. If you haven’t got the proper measuring equipment and access to board view files you might have to send or take it to a reputable repairer.

I don’t think they would have replaced anything. They would have put it in an ultrasonic cleaner and then tested it on their bench. Not all water damaged devices can be fixed. Did they tell you why it couldn’t be fixed?

Disconnect the top flex cable and seat the screen if it boots it will confirm a faulty top flex assembly and it will need to be replaced. This is the most common cause for the 7 series to boot-loop.  If it is not the top flex assembly it will be one of the other flex cables causing it, most likely the home button cable. The bottom cables cannot be replaced and require a replacement screen.

This can easily turn into a rabbit hole especially if you start replacing components. For an iPhone 8 with this symptom I would first check the connector, it might look all right but I have been trolled by this once before. Have you got your iBridge yet?  Second from experience I would remove the CPU shield and check the CPU coils for cracks. Then put pressure on the CPU and see if image appears. Remember the touch connector has a couple of image lines to. I would also check the proximity line as I have seen this pull the image down upon finished boot. Finally check you are getting your display boost “PP6V0_DISPLAY_BOOST” Could be a problem with chestnut. Good luck.

You will need to try a replacement screen. The flex on the one you are using could have been bent too much when removing and installing it. Make sure you replace it with an OLED screen and not LCD.

If the suction cup will not stay on because the screen is damaged you will need to use a thinner pic then insert the one you have.

Have you tried a known good screen?  What is the phones history? You should not have touched chestnut. Now you have added variables to your repair. I have measured different voltages on that line and yours is acceptable. You need to diode the connector and find what line is missing. If all the pins measure right I would try another meson than cumulus.

If you have brought a bulk lot of phones you will need a known good working device for each model. You then need to try the logic boards out in the known good housings. This will completely rule out parts as I wouldn’t trust the batteries screens and flex assemblies that came with them.
