The only thing you could try would be installing a new battery as the one you have could be faulty that is why it is boot looping and getting hot. Besides that you would need to put the logic board into a known good housing to rule out parts. Although it sounds like you have a problem with the logic board and to recover the data would cost around $300 just make sure it is a reputable repairer you send it to if you go down this path.

There are two components that fail due to liquid or bugs on the backlight circuit of an air. One is the backlight filter and the other is the backlight driver. They are both fairly easy repairs although you do require the right equipment and soldering knowledge. I would get a quote from a reputable repairer. I know some charge a flat fee on all repairs and others charge by the type of mac and the repair.

I have herd of this before on the iPhone 7’s where the person has no service in the morning after a night update this has been happening since IOS 13. Some are software issues where there was an app on the phone causing it. In this case a full restore with iTunes usually fixes it not an update. The other one is a hardware fault sometimes they are fixable but require microsoldering as one or two chips become effected “Baseband PMU” and the “Baseband CPU” as far as we can workout it is near the end of the update that it happens I do not know much else at this stage.

Your phone has more than likely had a failed audio IC repair. The audio IC has had too much heat applied to it causing the Baseband CPU’s solder balls to expand resulting in the problem you are having. This has nothing to do with the Antenna. If you type *#06# into your keypad does the IMEI display? If it doesn’t it will confirm it. There is no simple fix for this problem unless you are an experienced microsolderer.

Can Siri hear you? If not I would suspect you have the classic Audio IC problem for the 7 series. If this is the case an earlier IOS will not fix the problem.

The only solution I have found for a quick fire home button on the 7 series is to replace or re-flow the turtle IC. Maybe you could outsource the repair or bite the bullet and have apple replace the screen. We always ask the customer if their home button is working but they don’t always tell the truth. We have stopped offering this repair unless we think we might have caused it as the flex under turtle is very fragile.

No Wi-Fi is a pain with the iPhone X. The rule I follow is if the Wi-Fi is greyed out it will be a logic board problem. If it is connected it will more than likely be a parts problem so a replacement antenna might be the fix. There will be YouTube videos on the replacement if you cannot find a guide here. But it would be best to check your connections first.

No your touch ID will not work with the home button you have. If you purchase another logic board Make sure it comes with its original home button. They are married to the logic board. The damage you caused to the connector can be fixed by a repair shop for about $70

If you didn’t remove the home button it will either be the home button connector or a damaged flex cable. Make sure the home button connector is seated properly on the logic board. That is the one running vertical. If it is not that it will be a damaged flex cable and you will need to replace your screen.

Car chargers can do this to phones especially the iPhones. You first should make sure it is not the battery. If it is not it will be a damaged Tristar charging chip on your logic board and it will need to be replaced. This is not an expensive repair for the iPhone 6 although it does require microsoldering.
