Is My iPhone 8 Logic Board Faulty? Here’s How to Tell

If you have an iPhone 8 and have not experienced an issue with your phone freezing or restarting at random, consider yourself lucky. There have been wide reports that this does happen quite often. The reason behind the problem is that it has been identified that the logic board in this model of iPhone is faulty. The issue applies ONLY to the iPhone 8 and not the 8+.  Logic board issues can be quite serious and require repair or replacement of the board to ensure that the phone runs without issue. Below, we will help you determine if your logic board is faulty and what you can do about it.  Is My iPhone 8 Logic Board Faulty? If you want to determine if your phone had one of the faulty logic boards installed in it, follow these steps: 
  1. Go to the settings application on your phone 
  2. Click on general 
  3. Tap about 
  4. Scroll until you see the serial number for your iPhone and write it down 
  5. Call Apple and ask them to check your serial number 
Will a Bad Logic Board Act Funny? You may be able to determine if your logic board is one of the faulty ones simply by observing it. One of the things that are unique with a logic board issue is that the symptoms do not always show up right away and the issue may remain silent for a little while. As the problem continues to sit unaddressed, it will continue to get worse in nature until your phone shows symptoms.  Some of the most commonly seen symptoms of a bad logic board include:
  • USB ports no longer work 
  • Phone will not turn on, even when it is charged to 100 percent 
  • Repeated crashing 
  • Dot project problems
  • Failure to detect the battery 
  • Battery not charging 
  • Face ID not working or recognizing your face
  • Repetitive restarts 
  • No backlight or image on the screen when the phone is on 
The logic board in your phone can go bad at any time, especially if damage has occurred to the phone. If it does go bad and you do not have it repaired or replaced, you risk losing the data on your phone. Logic boards are known to be affected by falls and drops, so it is important to protect your device as best as possible with a screen protector and a case.  Some other symptoms of a bad logic board include overheating, liquid damage, and poor connections on the board itself.  Can My Logic Board Be Repaired?
