Logic Board: What Can Cause Issues

Logic Board: What Can Cause Issues

If you have ever run into issues with your phone and tried to look those issues up on the internet, you have probably stumbled across the term logic board. Fixing an iPhone logic board takes time and patience as it is a tricky thing to do and should only be done by a professional. But why does the logic board matter so much?  A logic board is best described as a circuit board that contains many different connections that make your iPhone work. In laments terms, it is the heart and brain of your iPhone. Without it, you would not have a functioning phone. In other words, think about a computer for a moment – it has a central brain too. Without this brain, it cannot function. Your phone is the same way.  Okay, but what is difference between a motherboard and a logic board? Nothing. In fact, they are the same thing. Apple uses the term logic board to describe their motherboards whereas other individuals (outside of Apple) use the term motherboard. You can use the term interchangeably and people will know what you are referring to if they have an Apple.  You asked earlier why the logic board matters so much. It holds all the data to your phone and makes the phone function. If you have a bad logic board, you will lose the functionality of your phone and in some cases, all the data on it as well.  So, what causes issues with the logic board?  There are many reasons why an iPhone’s logic board may not work right or become faulty. Sometimes, manufacturer defect is the issue, but this is not as common as some of the other reasons we will list below.  Liquid and Moisture  One or the other or even both can cause your logic board to suffer problems. Even when you think your phone is safe, moisture can find its way into the phone via ports or even cracks in the screen. This is why it is important to protect your phone. If your phone is dropped into water, it can cause more significant issues.  Overheating  An iPhone that overheats is on a destructive path to stop working. Excessive heat can lead to serious issues including damage to the logic board. Sometimes, the reason a phone overheats is due to a bad battery or overcharging and these issues can be corrected before damage occurs to the motherboard, if caught early enough.  Drops or Falls It is inevitable that at some point your iPhone will drop to the floor. When your iPhone does drop or fall, there is a chance that serious damage can occur. In most cases, nothing too bad happens, especially if your phone is in a case or protected, but it is always possible that the phone can sustain serious damage.  When a phone drops or falls to a hard surface, there is a chance that the regulated circuit becomes dislodged or damaged and this is where you will start to notice problems with the phone.  Dust and Dirt  Over the years, your phone accumulates dirt, dust, and debris. Since you use your phone on a regular basis, there is a chance that this dirt, debris, and dust can get into your phone and cause issues with the logic board. It is important to regularly clean your phone to prevent this from happening.  Get Logic Board Repairs Today  Our experts are skilled at fixing an iPhone logic board and can get yours repaired or replaced quickly and affordably.
