Hello, my sister has received this Limited Edition Iphone 5s as a present about a year ago. She gave me the phone after it has stopped working to repair it. In a Repair Shop I was told that this is a problem with motherboard and they do not repair it. Is it possible to fix it by replacing the motherboard ? Maybe someone knows the seller's name of this phone modification? I was told that this phone do not have IMEI so I do not know anything about the phone.
Got a tip for us?

If you want to maintain the exterior you will need to find a working and unlocked 5s circuit board for your phone.
5s
This is not a limited edition. It looks like it's only custom enclosure.
I think that this is the Russian folks pattern "Хохлома" (hohloma).
Never liked such stile, however many Russians adore.
You can find out about IMEI on sim tray.
It is possible to earn little money if you sell it for spare parts.

Much easier just to buy a new iPhone 5s. That cover was not made by Apple and is only 'limited' by the company who made it.
So if I'll buy another 5s and replace the motherboard, it should work?

It costed 2000 euros, so I think it would be more valuable as a phone than spare parts
Unless, enclosure of iphone was being made from gold
or another valuable material. Otherwise, it cost will be, I believe, not very high.
Nonetheless, it is amusing issue, I am wondering about fabulous price of 2000€, what particularly for such enormous price?
Who author of this wonderful customization?
I think of this option too, but is it possible to change the enclosure also?

Not really sure, it is designed by some kind of french designer and assembled in Moscow. It is bought in Hong Kong, some kind of exhibition
