Help guys, brought a 5s that wasnt charging, replaced charging port so now charges but now mic and home button dont work, replaced charge port again but still same issue....any ideas ??
 
Seems like there might be a problem with the motherboard or with the connectors to it.....maybe this video will help. It dissasembles the entire iPhone 5S. So maybe you can see the issue you have pop up here....

did the mic and home button ever work? if it wasn't charging, sounds like you probably didn't get a chance to test them

the kid you bought it from said, 'it was totally fine and i dunno what happened but it was fine i swear and i totally would have repaired it but i was due for an upgrade so i'll sell it to you for $50 bucks'

AKA 'i dropped the thing in water and the bottom got wet and i grabbed it out really quick but water fried all the components at the bottom of it'

i know he said 'I SWEAR IT ALL WORKED BEFORE'

it did — when he took it out of the box
