Unless you are an expert at small electronics repair, the likelihood that you will do irreparable damage to your phone is quite high. Once you attempt anything that involves opening the iPhone, you won't be eligible for warranty services or even an out-of-warranty replacement unit from Apple.


Object lesson:


Iphone works but is not charging after installing new battery

There is no place to get a "fresh" logic board. Apple does not sell spare parts. So the only logic boards you can get were scavenged from other phones; either broken phones or stolen phones. And if it's from a stolen phone the logic board is probably still activation locked to the previous owner, and will be useless. Plus all of the other issues already mentioned.
