Logic Board overheats. Tried Everything :( iPhone 4s

[iamataff]

Hello there

I have an iphone 4s logic board which overheats. It was intermittent at 1st which let me to believe it was water damaged (corrosion over time).

I scrubbed it with 99% but still it overheats.

The phone is fine when off but when switched on quickly heats up (til overheat pop up) and the battery depletes very quickly.

I have a working 4s shell (my own iphone), and have just hot swapped the boards over so this is, as far as I know, only a board issue. I have another original battery and both are fine.

Any suggestions to whats up ? Or what to do next ?

Most definitely. So how do I fix it ? Replace the chip ?

Replace the chip ?

Really? U know a buddy who has access to an industrial spider desolderer?

Time for a new phone.

I have a very competent component shop near me which I could try. It'll be shame if I have to scrap it as I unlocked it and put it on a jailbroken 6.0.1 too

Anywhere online I could send the board for repair ?

Thanks for the answer :/
