If I buy a new logic board for an iphone 6, does the touch button has to be linked originally or any other touch button can be linked after?

I think in your other posts on this iPhone 6 the consensus is to get a "new" iPhone. Just a suggestion.

Personal opinion - it won't work.

Second personal opinion - the iPhone is dead and beyond resuscitation.

Third personal opinion - you need to acquire a new iPhone (brand new or refurbished later model).

These views have already been suggested in your previous thread on the same subject.

I went to a local shop and the phone was resuscitated for not too much. It works perfectly fine, the only problem is that the display is dark. The guy says that it's due to the motherboard being damaged. That's why my original question. You can buy motherboards on aliexpress for 30-40 euros, I just wanted to know if I had to buy one with the button included or the original one wouldn't work.

Your game :) :)

It works, you said.

See if this Link helps with your question. May need to read all of it.

Do you think it's the motherboard or is it's just a bad display?

I think unless someone is an experienced iPhone repair professional...or a DIY person who has done this specific repair...I think an exact answer is hard to say.

For us amateur DIY folks...the best we can do is replace suspected bad parts for known good parts. In this case the best you can do is purchase the parts...replace them...then see the results.

Sounds like replacing the motherboard is the first thing try (especially since the guy at the local shop said he thought the issue was due to a damaged motherboard).

If you replaced the motherboard & the dim display issue remained...then it would be time to try replacing the display (if the display is a possible source of the issue).

For both parts (motherboard and/or display)...would be best to purchase them from a place that accepts returns. This way if they don't correct the issue...you can return them.

Another solution to consider (if you got to have an iPhone 6)...is purchase a used iPhone 6 via eBay or somewhere else. iPhone 6's are pretty old...and a good condition used one may not be that expensive. Worst case you need to replace the battery.
