Okay so if I go to the apple store will they be able to fix the motherboard

Not likely. Anything board related usually means whole unit replacement, which is $399 plus tax for an iPhone 11 at an Apple Store in the United States and possibly a $6.95 shipping cost if it has to be shipped to you (not all stores have exact replacements in stock). As in the whole thing including a new battery and a good condition display. As in requiring an exchange of the malfunctioning iPhone. Apple simply doesn't repair boards for customers' devices for any reason. The entire industry uses automated assembly and testing where it's all or nothing. Testing only determines if a board needs to be rejected and tossed. Boards almost never get fixed unless they're prototypes.

The prices are listed here:

Granted it might be possible to fix boards (or at least the components on them) but that's specialized work and often not worth it except for data recovery.

Well then how much would it be to full pay for a new unit

Your original post indicated an iPhone 11, which is $399. There are also rules, including that it requires an exchange. And also the possibility that they might deny a replacement if the device brought in has been opened up outside of Apple's repair ecosystem. They'll run a test and verify that it has all original parts. They might try and reuse whatever works from an exchanged unit, but it might not be salvageable. If the board is dead they most definitely won't try to fix it.

If you have a different iPhone, the prices are listed in the article I linked, but here it is again.

Apple can replace the board, but they usually just give you a new unit, whether under AppleCare+ or you-pay-full.

The service price for motherboard is not available to user, however; you can visit the store or contact Apple Support to schedule an appointment to fix the device.

Apple Genius can physically evaluate better than anyone here.
