A message about a non-genuine part is discussed in this support document: iPhone parts and service history - Apple Support

An Unknown Part message appears if the part installation is incomplete or if the part:

- Was replaced with a nongenuine part (e.g., you had it repaired with a third party service that did not use an Apple component)

- Was already used or installed in another iPhone

- Isn't functioning as expected


If the reason isn't immediately apparent, go to this page to find your nearest Apple Authorized Service Provider (AASP) or Apple Authorized Distributor (AAD) --> Find Locations
