6 more has water damage and I took it to a third party for repair, Please HELP!

Okay, so I dropped my 6 more in a sink full of dishes and it stayed there for about 10 minutes (seriously, don't ask, lol) I panicked and it took a repairman who put it in a bath of chemical and replaced the digitizer and the battery.  When I picked up today, it seems to work except when making calls.  He will make and receive calls, but I cannot hear through the ear speaker/listener (whatever it is called).  If I want to make or receive calls and be able to hear the people, I have to use the speaker.  I went back to the repair shop and the guy on the phone and says that the phone is getting blazing hot and closing, which means that the motherboard is bad, and he can not fix that... basically I'm SOL.

I just called and spoke with an Apple Care support person and she informed me that even if the phone is only 6 months old, warranty is void because I took it to a third party for repair instead of the Apple Store.  She told me to get a make-Genius Bar and take the phone to them.  The diagnosis would be free, but because the warranty was void, the repair would cost $329 to be out-of-warranty.  She also told me that motherboards can usually be replaced, so that I would get more than likely a new phone.  I'm confused.  Did mean that I can take my phone died at the Apple Store and get a new Plus 6 for $329?  Or is $329 the diagnostic charge, because he is no longer under warranty?

I'm sorry. You are pretty much out of luck. Apple will not touch. They don't offer the $329 out of warranty replacement. Don't waste your time. Buy a new phone.
