Chosen Solution Hi, So i got an iphone 6s that was sitting around for like a half a year unused but working well before and now i want to give it to a family member. When i booted it up i noticed that the battery is acting strange and top right corner,1-2cm below camera, probably cpu, gets quite hot, really unpleasant to hold in hand . From 100% to 60% the battery works well, but then it gets random, for example: it goes from 60% to 50% in 1% drop like every 10 seconds or just jumps from 60 to 55, 55 to 50, then at 50% it turns off, immediately boots up by itself and then shows 10%; i use it for a half a minute it restarts again, shows 1%....

Chosen Solution How do I replace Iphone 6 Backlight? Do i have to buy a new logic board if so any cheap good quality? It’s very important to always disconnect the battery before disconnecting/reconnecting the screen assembly. The issue is that the LCD connector has pins that have high voltages (i.e. the backlight is ~20V) and ground in very close proximity. When you fumble around trying to line up the connector plug to the receptacle, you can short out the voltage rail and cause damage to the components in the backlight circuit....
