Here is what I have tried/verified:

- **Speakerphone:** Still no audio during cellular calls.

- **Bluetooth:** Connected headphones also have no audio during cellular calls, but work for music/third-party apps.

- **Voice Memos:** Working perfectly (microphones are fine).

- **Modem Firmware:** Visible in Settings > General > About.

- **Panic Logs:** Zero 'panic-full' entries in Analytics Data.

- **Resets:** I have already performed a 'Reset Network Settings'.

- **Physical Symptoms:** The phone has been getting very hot recently, but has not been dropped.

Since the hardware works for third-party apps but fails for cellular audio routing even over Bluetooth, I suspect a logic board or Audio IC issue, possibly related to the "sandwich" board layers. Are there any other software fixes to try before seeking a microsoldering repair?

i can only find the glass with the ring on ebay but the ring for the glass is soldered on the frame of the phone. i tried to heat it up but i cannot remove it.

it fell on its backside late one night.

the back glass cracked with a terrible crunch,

now bits are falling off but not a whole bunch.

i plug it in and it charges with hope,

but getting it working? im struggling to cope.

it reaches 1%,, then springs to life,

before restarting again like its causing me strife.

unlock the screen? it says "not today!"

then shuts itself down and goes its own way.

it powers back up, then crashes once more,

this phone is giving me drama, that i simply cant ignore.

so tech wizards, gurus, and fixit pros too,

does anyone know what im supposed to do?

is there a simple repair i can try,

or has my phone officially said goodbye????

ps... it occasionally charges and works normally for a while

UPDATE:

I let it dry for another day, and the next time i powered it on it was functioning as normal excepting the taptic engine. However, about an hour later, the screen suddenly went black with some dim lines flickering across it, and the phone restarted. It was then stuck in a boot loop of showing the apple logo for about ten seconds, then the screen going black and then shutting off. I held all three buttons to shut it off, and then removed the screen and logic board. It’s sitting in isopropyl alcohol for a while, hopefully that will clean it up. The only visible water damage was on the side of the taptics engine and the aluminium cover for the camera module, where you could see some marks from salt water. I couldn’t see anything on the logic board, but i fear the water could have gotten under the processor housing.

Hi ,have enclosed photos ,can’t unlock as what I press doesn’t correspond to what appears on screen.The back looks pretty smashed up not sure if that’s not helping.

I have heard it may be possible to connect to a Mac and control it from ther ,is that possible or are there any other alternatives.
