Hi,
I recently dropped my iPhone in water, and the logic board is fried. It is not activated, I use it as an iPod. (don't judge) I bought a used logic board off eBay, and bought a used logic board, stating that it didn't hold any charge. I thought to myself, this must be a battery problem, and I am pretty experienced in fixing iPhones. When I got the logic board, and installed it, I hooked it up and let it charge. The sound came, it vibrated, and everything worked. All features and functions work, Camera, Calling, (called 911, picked it up, and briefly explained it was a test call, not a smart move) and Siri. Everything works as if it was a new iPhone, but it wouldn't take in charge. It made the sound, vibrated twice, and had the charging icon next to the battery. The Battery percentage wouldn't go up, and when it reaches 0 percent, it shuts off unless plugged in. I could use it on 0 percent when plugged it, but when I unplugged it, it shuts off. It acts as if charging, but doesn't charge. It can't be the docking port, because it works when plugged in. It can't be the connection from the charger to the docking port, because I tested this logic board in my friend's iPhone 4S, and the same problem occurred. I will be selling this logic board as a last resort, but until then, I want to fix it and try all solutions. If someone replies a solution related to soldering, I have never soldered/unsoldered anything so delicate in my life. I tried soldering a wire to a point in a circuit board before, but the board caught fire when power reached it. I don't want the same thing to happen again. Sorry for the long read.
