So I’ve got an old 64GB 5S but; -the camera & flash doesn’t work -screen was replaced with a cheap one and not as bright as the original -body is coming apart at the top section. -ear piece heats up during calls. I was wondering if its possible to just swap the motherboard to a sacrificial 5S (one with iCloud lock)
