Symptoms of a Bad Logic Board
If you are not up for making the phone call to Apple Customer Support, you may be able to determine if your logic board is faulty simply by knowing what some of the symptoms are. It is a good idea to know these symptoms anyways, that way, you know when something is wrong.
Unfortunately, many people do not even know they have a logic board issue because the phone can still work when there is a problem. Over time, as the problem worsens, the phone will start to act differently, and this will usually alert you and you will realize something is not right.
Some of the most common symptoms of a faulty logic board include:
- Phone won’t turn on at all, even when charged
- Failure to recognize the battery
- USB ports not working
- Face ID not recognizing your face or not working properly
- No image or backlight on the screen
- Battery failing to charge
- Dot project failing to approve entry to the phone via face ID
- Crashing repeatedly
A logic board can fail at any time. Since the logic board is the heart of your iPhone, it can have devastating effects when it does malfunction or go completely bad. In general, logic boards commonly have issues due to a drop or fall that the phone took. Other reasons your logic board may be suffering damage include liquid, poor connections, and overheating.
