Possibly fried iPhone6 board component
Hello everyone,
I had a question and was unsure wether or not to open a new thread or append to a similar thread. Had repaired my iPhones like dozens of times in the past.
My current iPhone6 Model A1586 had vertical stripes resembling white noise this morning; restarting didn't help. I presumed a cable was loose, so I opened it up, unplugged and reattached all cables leading to the display.
After that, I tried turning the thing back on and the stripes were still there. I repeated the process once (unplugging and replugging relevant display cables), but then the display stayed completely black. Since I did not order a replacement display yet, I first wanted to determine wether or not the display was broken or the phone itself.
Several options:
- Some cable was about to give out, after opening up, the relevant cables power line broke completely.
- Something in the board broke, GPU or whatever.
- My attempt to fix it may have shorted something out on the board (either the display had a short circuit or the cables were inproperly reconnected.
- Something else.
To determine wether the iPhone6 was still okay, I unplugged the Display completely and turned the phone on. I presume the iPhone should still start and vibrate once. The battery should still be about 86% full. What I then did was:
- I turned the iPhone off, unplugged the battery. Display was disconnected.
- Waited 30 seconds. Turned the side lever to 'silent/vibrate'.
- reconnected the battery and tried turning it on.
- Plugged the power cord in. tried turning on again.
- Phone did not vibrate, while the side lever was on 'silent'
Shouldn't it at least vibrate with the display being disconnected? Am I correct to assume the board is fried? I would refrain from ordering a new display and buy an Android Phone instead, if the thing is no longer repairable.
The phone was turned off during every step above, but I am not sure I may have forgotten to unplug the battery one time. What's the worst that could happen unplugging and reconnecting cables while the battery is still connected (while the mobile is off)? Would it be possible to save the data somehow, if the GPU was fried or whatever?
Thanks for any suggestions.

Just a side comment:
I had backups of the phone years ago, but iTunes keept crashing on updates or whenever I tried reinstalling it. So there haven't been backups in years and it would be pretty good if there was any way to repair the thing or at least save the data from the board.
I studied Computer Sciences and am quiet adept with electronics, but iTunes was just hopeless to fix on my PCs. Is it possible to transfer the memory chip to another phone?
