Samsung G S5 power up error (sbl1 partition doesn't exist)t

Hi,
My Galaxy S5 took an unexpected swim the other day, and though the phone is waterproof, the screen is cracked and, after letting the phone dry out, it only seems to be able to enter boot recovery mode. The ability for the phone to power on is somewhat sporadic, though it has been more regular (turning on rather than being unresponsive) a few days later. When it does, text appears on the screen as follows (white text shown as black).

BOOT RECOVERY MODE
CHECK BOOT PARTITIONS
sbl1 partition doesn't exist
ddi : mmc_read failed
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SM-G900P
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
REACTIVATION LOCK: OFF
KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0X0
QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE (CSB)
RP SWREV: S1, T3, R1, A3, P1
SECURE DOWNLOAD: ENABLE
UDC START

I've tried to re-flash the firmware using Odin 3.07, 3.09, and 3.12, running as administrator, which fails in two ways: either with the message below (on the phone, with a corresponding message in Odin,

ODIN : flash read failure
ERROR: There is no pit binary.
ODIN : flash read failure

Or at the Setup Connection stage, which goes like this

<ID:0/006> Added!!
<ID:0/006> Odin v.3 engine (ID:6)..
<ID:0/006> File analysis..
<ID:0/006> SetupConnection..
<ID:0/006> Complete(Write) operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)

I've swapped USB cables as well and a different battery. Any idea what the problem might be?

The Galaxy S5 phone is NOT waterproof, merely water resistant and the crack in the screen has rendered the integrity of even that void I am afraid. See... http://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS00038505/
 
Mainboard problem. Wrap phone in plastic and stick it in freezer for 10 minutes. unwrap and see if it boots. (don't put it in freezer if phone is hot. Wait for it to cool.first)
