[QUOTE="darizzter, post: 1611869, member: 319243"] Thank you for your reply Jake. I am sure both of you guys are educated on your Apple products. The reason I was bothered with the first reply, was because there was no insight given on the issue at hand, it was just a regurgitation of my original diagnosis. Just to make it clear, the $80, whether I send it to home or not, is just to replace the battery. AppleCare suspects its the battery, but I am very suspicious of the call center employee, as well as her supervisor, as she did not even know what a logic board was when I mentioned it, and the supervisor just said its a battery issue. I don't see how sending my iPhone to the US to get a battery replaced for $80 (probably close to $120 after shipping costs) will help me out. There could be many reasons that the logic board isn't responding correctly or the board may be defective itself. I am seeking advice for a method in which I could test the circuitry/connection (aka loose ribbons) and observe whether or not there any components of the phone that are failing to respond. I suspect that this is the issue, because I would expect that if the logic board itself was defective, the phone wouldn't be turning on - I may be wrong, so please correct me if I'm wrong, but its my current assumption. I also am going to go a limb here and say that Apple probably won't just open up my phone and make sure everything is connected properly, because when I took it to the Apple store here in the Netherlands while it wasn't turning on, they told me that the issue was unresolvable. I don't find it as a particularly good answer for something to be unresolvable (considering the phone is now on), especially from "Geniuses". I suppose I will just go and buy a kit to open the thing up and make sure everything is connected properly. I was just thinking that there was some non-invasive method to do this. Again, I just want my device to work, considering the fact that I have taken excellent care of it and its not even 2 years old. I apologize if I come off as rude, I just am trying to be clear and concise. I appreciate the responses, regardless of whether or not I thought it was helpful. [/QUOTE]
