Logic board getting hot
Dropped iphone 8 on its bottom right corner (looking at the screen). Screen did not work afterwards, and upon plugging into a power source, phone was getting hot, but not responding to any of my clicks or touches. Eventually it stopped generating heat when i plugged it in.
Talked to Apple Genius, told me the battery is at fault but claimed all other components should be fine. So i undertook the task of replacing the battery as well as the LCD/digitizer myself.
Using the new battery and screen, when i plug into a power source, i get heating issue again, this time with the phone opened up i can feel the source, and it gets generated on the logic board, just south of the rear facing camera (near/on A11 chip). Screen still does not work, new battery does not get hot, Could the logic board be at fault here? Is there a potential short? Can i still somehoe recover my data?
