iPhone 4S motherboard overheating after water damage cleaning
I got iPhone 4S, it was water damaged, I took it apart and cleaned it with Isopropyl, took apart the motherboard and cleaned it, and all connectors.
I replace dock connector and battery.
Now when I turn on the phone, it works but the motherboard gets really really hot, until I HAVE to shut it down. Battery stays cool.
When I plug charger, it shows the little symbol of "charging" although the battery level keep going down and not up.
Must be some component on the motherboard, right?
Is it a hard fix?, does the phone even have a chance in this world?
Thanks so much for any help.

It appears that you are having issues with either the charging coil, charging IC or any component thereof. These components are wither BGA IC's and require a rework station, or they are minute in size and very difficult to solder for the average DIY'er

You must be right oldturkey03, i asked a few techs, and some didn't wanna touch the phone, only one store was nice enough to give me a 170$ quote on replacing the charging coil. There is no chance that my Electronics Engineer brother can do it with a professional soldering tool?, only a rework station can manage that??

If your brother has the tools, I am sure that he knows how to use those, he could replace the coil. I mean at this time, you do not really have anything to lose by letting him fix it for you.

i had the same issue: i checked the heat source and recognized that the back camera went really hot during phone use. to check this i unplugged the connector of the back camera, then it did'nt went hot any more. After a week i plugged it in again and it was in normal temperature and still full funcionally. Good luck.
