The fuse looks like i might be lifted for the back light. Can you lift the black plastic cover for the LVDS connector. Need to see the LVDS connector trace.

Did this item see liquid? Sounds like what happens after liquid has hit the keyboard.

On the newer iPhone 6 they have a BGA chip that controls the vibrate motor. I would assume the 5 also has this same control chip. UPDATE looks like the U9 chip on the board controls the vibrator voltage output. Its a 4 ball BGA chip. This may or may not be faulty.

Depends on how they designed the s6 Edge. The older Galaxy phones had removable boards for the sim tray but they also have had models were it is directly soldered on the main board. The phone will have to be taken apart and then if soldering is needed it will need to be removed and a new port put back on. This is not a task for amateurs. UPDATE The S6 Edge Sim tray is indeed direct soldered to the board.

If it fails restore you need to use the iTunes code to get an idea of what part of restore it fails. Most of the time I see baseband failures..

Most of the time you can search ebay or amazon for replacement parts. If the port is soldered to the board and isnt on a separate break out board you will have to desolder it to replace it. This requires a decent amount of soldering skills.

Could be a battery going bad or possible damage from the drops. Start with a new battery.

You could technically pull the board apart an clean each key or just replace the keyboard and save yourself headache of trying to pull every key and put them back on. Plus you could have damaged internal traces of the keyboard which are even more of a pain to fix.

pinched cable or you got something on the digitizer ribbon

dont ever understand how people do this. ALWAYS turn off and disconnect power when doing repairs. You most likely burnt out the backlight filter
