Motherboard is dead- how can I have my data/pics back?
Hi everyone!
A few months ago my housemate changed my phone's screen and he touched something he shouldn't, leading to a processor error. Apparently, my motherboard is having a hard time and the phone doesn't turn on.
My question is, is there any way of recovering the data I have there, at least the pictures? I thought I had a backup, but, apparently, the last one I have is from mid-2020 😰
Thanks a lot for all your help! 😄
P.S @refectio , sorry for tagging you, but I've seen many recommendations from other people! Hope you don't mind :)
//Update
If you're going through the same situation, this is your sign! There's a way out 😊
I ended up sending my phone to @tojaert 's studio- the situation couldn't get any worst, so I've decided to give it a try. The same day he received my phone, my iCloud started to be updated. As you can imagine, I couldn't even believe my eyes... EVERYTHING WAS RECOVERED 🥳 @tojaert kept me updated all the time, including about the poor health of my phone. We've decided to repair it as well and, in about 2-3 weeks, I got it back.
Lessons learned:
- Don't try to save money and have a non-professional friend fix stuff on your phone
DO THE FCKING BACKUP- let's stop with rookie mistakes
- There's always hope (or let's say an excellent professional that can help you out)
I really regret not coming to this forum earlier, I've wasted 3 months in a repair shop that was useless. Thank you all for your comments!
And, of course, a very special shout-out to @tojaert ! You're a life saviour! 😊😊
P.S I don't know exactly what was the technical problem with the phone in the end, but I'm sure @tojaert can explain it to you if you're curious!
Esta é uma boa pergunta?

@guardian10 Can you help with this?

sounds like a logic board issue that needs to be repaired by someone with knowledge in board repair, not really any other help can be given at this point as we have no photos of the board and don't know what he touched

@carolapin "leading to a processor error. Apparently, my motherboar@d is having a hard time and the phone doesn't turn on." exactly what does your phone still do? What has been checked? What makes you think it's a processor error? Post some good pictures of your logic board with your question. Adicionar imagens a uma pergunta já existente I don't think anything has been properly narrowed down to what may be the cause. @imicrosoldering any idea besides what was already stated? I

@oldturkey03 My phone is dead as dead can be. It doesn't turn on. I've put it in a repair shop, but it's more than 2 months now and I'd like to move past it. They told me there that it was the motherboard and that, finding the problem could take a long time, without any certainty of it being repairable. Right now I'm just looking at other options and I thought that maybe you guys would have a different idea. I don't care if I won't be able to use the phone again, I'd just like to recover my stuff.
I can get photos by the end of the week, could you tell me what you'd like to see?
Thank you so much for reaching out 🙌🙌

@carolapin sure, I understand that. Problem is that you cannot recover anything off this phone, unless you get it to turn on. Hence the looking into the possibility of at least getting it to that point.
