Common Issues That Damage Logic Boards

Common Issues That Damage Logic Boards

When your iPhone does not work properly, it is not only annoying but inconvenient as well. There are a variety of issues that can arise from your Wi-Fi not working to poo sound quality and even issues with the screen turning on. Sometimes, more serious issues happen that threaten the longevity of your phone such as logic board damage. Fixing a logic board is not an easy task and should only be done by a professional because this piece may be small, but it carries a hefty job within the phone itself. It is responsible for a lot and is the heart of your device.  Logic board is a term used to describe the circuit board within the phone and it is home to many smaller components and connections that function the phone.  You may have heard the term motherboard instead of logic board. Well, is there a difference? Not really. The motherboard and logic board are the same. The only difference is that Apple calls the motherboard a logic board. You can use the term interchangeably and a professional mobile device repair shop will know what you are referring to.  Why care about the logic board so much? Because it houses all your phone’s data and is responsible for your phone’s functioning. Without it, you would not have a phone.  So, what causes issues with it? There are many reasons why your logic board may fail or act up. Sometimes it is a manufacturer defect and sometimes it is from unintentional damage to it. Below, we will review some of the most common causes of issues that arise with the logic board.  Rising Temperature  A hot phone is a dangerous phone. You do not want your phone to overheat and if it does, you want to get it cooled down as quickly as possible. Heat damages the logic board, which in turn causes issues with your phone. If you have found that your phone is overheating or running hotter than normal, do have it checked out.  Water Exposure  Water and moisture are enemies of your phone and when your phone is exposed to them, the logic board may be threatened. From complete submersion in water to moisture getting in through a crack in the screen, make sure to take extra steps to prevent any liquid damage.  Dirt and Dust  Over time, dirt and dust will collect in the small cracks of your phone and even in the charger port. When it does, it can present problems for you, especially if it makes its way into the actual phone and touches the internal components. Make sure to clean your phone often to prevent this from happening.  Accidental Drops  You have likely dropped your phone on the ground accidentally a time or two and while it may seem like no damage was done, it is possible for a drop to ruin your logic board or damage it. A phone case is always recommended to help absorb some of the damage that can happen during a fall, but there is no way to 100 percent protect a phone when it drops.  If your phone does drop and hits a hard surface or has something sharp or hard dropped on it, one of the regulated circuits can come undone and thus cause issues with the device.  Get Professional Logic Board Repairs You do not want to fix an iPhone logic board on your own as it is very fragile and even the smallest mistake can have a big impact on it.
