How can I tell if my iPhone logic board has been damaged?

There are a few different signs that will point toward an issue with the logic board. First, a device that will not turn on, even once the device has been charged should be looked at. Second, if you notice that the battery will not charge and there are no issues with the charging port or cable. Lastly, your device may turn off or restart for no reason at all. 

Some other issues you may face include the USB ports not working on the device, no background image or a black background screen, issues with the face ID sensor, problems with the dot projector, getting locked out of your phone, and the failure of the device to recognize the battery.

How did my logic board get damaged?

Logic board damage can occur when something unusual happens to your phone. While the logic board itself is pretty well protected within your phone, there are times when it is vulnerable and more apt to become damaged. For example, if your phone’s screen is shattered or cracked, dirt or dust can make its way inside and damage the board. Other incidents that can lead to damage include liquid spills, large falls or drops, processor malfunctions, and overheating.

Can my iPhone logic board be repaired?

Fortunately, it is likely that it can be. As you search for iPhone logic repairs in your area, make sure that you thoroughly explain any damage that has occurred to your iPhone and any of the symptoms you are experiencing. It is vital that you work with an experienced iPhone repair technician to ensure your phone is repaired properly and without further incident. Logic board repairs are complex and require in-depth knowledge.

Will the IMEI number on my iPhone change with a replacement of the logic board?

Yes. A motherboard (or logic) board replacement will result in a change in the IMEI number. The reason behind the change is that the IMEI number is saved onto the motherboard, so naturally, when the motherboard is changed, so is this number. If the logic board is fixed or repaired, then the IMEI will remain the same.
