Hello, The case is my IPhone 4S has many broken parts, the screen broke, home button not functioning, battery died and charging port is probably broken. I am trying to recover my data but the phone won’t turn on, but I know it’s still working because last month I was able to access it briefly (while it’s broken like that). Would it be possible to switch the logic board to access the phone? And I mean that, can I take the logic board from the broken phone and place it in a new phone (of the same type) and gain my data from it that way? or should I try replacing all the broken parts? Any advice is appreciated and thank you in advance.
Yes, you can swap the board into a different phone and “should” work based on what you are describing. It would be cheaper to perform a repair on that device. You can buy a battery, screen and charging port for pretty cheap. iPhone 4S Battery Replacement iPhone 4S Screen Replacement iPhone 4S Dock Connector Replacement You could also look around for a whole phone that you could simply out the old board into if you can find one cheaper then that parts are. Start with a battery if you don’t want to buy all the parts to confirm it’ll turn on with a new battery.
