Can I Use a Water Damaged iPhone 6 for parts?
I have a water damaged iPhone 6 that I would like to use for parts because the shell looks great still and I have another iPhone 6 with a beat up shell but perfectly working logic board and the battery is all messed up.
So just to detail them, on the donor iPhone:
The shell looks great and it was about 1 month old when it was dropped in water and got damaged. Therefore, I have no idea which part of it is good and which part isn’t.
On the working iphone:
The Shell is messed up and the battery is at about 60% wear level and the antenna also seems to have problems because when I use my bluetooth headphones, they keep breaking up if I move around and it works fine with other phones plus it never use to do that before.
Can someone tell me if moving the logic board over to the donor phone (water damaged) is a good idea? and if there is anything else I should do besides moving the components?
I will be eternally grateful to anyone taking your precious time to answer this.

And once that is all done, unless you have some serious test equipment pretty much the only way you are going to find out if parts are still viable is by re-installing them. Might want to keep in mind though that even though a component looks good it may be damaged and if used with known good components has the possibility to cause further damage to the good components. Hope your endeavours work for you! :-)

Last update:
the last thing that wasn’t working properly was my wifi and bluetooth connection because I realized later that I transferred my logic board from the working phone to the water damaged shell and everything else.
So I took the phone apart again to exchange the wifi antenna and voila! It’s now working perfectly.
I should mention here that while everyone’s suggestion is to replace that antenna, if your are experiencing the same problem where you do have signal but it’s just weak, you might just need to take the phone apart to make sure that the antenna is clipped onto the logic board properly, because if it’s working but weak, it means it might just be nothing more than a bad connection . Try this first and see if it fixes your problem before buying a new part.
