*Description*
If your iPhone Air won’t turn on, keeps rebooting, boot looping, or stopped working after water damage or a failed repair, the logic board (motherboard) may be the problem. In this HowFixit step-by-step guide, you’ll learn how to safely open the iPhone Air, disconnect the back glass cable, remove key modules (battery, cameras, Face ID, speakers), and replace the logic board correctly.
We also cover iPhone Air’s electrically released battery adhesive, plus reassembly tips to avoid pinched flex cables. After the first boot, you’ll calibrate the new motherboard using Apple Repair Assistant in Parts & Service History and then perform a complete functional test: cameras, Face ID, speakers, mic, buttons, wireless charging, USB-C charging, cellular, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth.
Finally, we show how to restore dust/moisture protection with new sealing adhesive.
