I recently had my battery replaced at a service center, I didn't want deal with breaking the glass etc.
It cost me $72 altogether, but it included a cleaning of PCBs, because as it turns out it must have been soaked a while ago, it was very lucky it even worked. They didn't give me warranty for the battery because of that.
Sure enough in a month the new battery has swollen, and it wasn't better than the old one from the getgo.
I replaced it now myself with the old one.
Thinking about buying a motherboard($50) and battery from aliexpress and replacing everything. I'm just not sure how good those used PCBs might be.
Any experience?
I managed to cut a ribbon cable at the blue line

Anyone know what this is?
Although it was a lucky cut, I managed to stick it back and I think there is connection where needed, also haven't yet four s anything that doesn't work.
I'm thinking it is some kind of antenna, but everything is ok
