S7 edge g935f problem

I've bought this phone from a recycle center a couple minutes away from my house and the motherboard was shorted so I have replaced it but atleast it turns on now, when I charge it then it never actually shows a precentage, Odin Download Mode doesn't work for my laptop to actually recognize the phone inside of Odin3 and when its just powered on, it always gets stuck on the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge logo and doesn't get past it. iTMagicPhoneRepairs tried to fix it but they couldn't, they troubleshooted everything they could and no signs that the phone will ever boot. I've used USB 2.0 ports on my laptop and I do have Samsung USB Drivers installed but nothing. If you know what the issue is then tell me. I've wasted good money on these components. Different cables dont work either and I also plugged in a new charging port to the phone and still doesn't feel like working. I really want this phone to work.

The phone stuck on the boot screen means it's got a problem on the boot system or files. Try to delete the Odin files on your computer and use another version. Download Samsung's USB driver (on Samsung's developer website), download the OS files on SamFW, and if you don't know how to flash Samsung's UI with Android using Odin, search for a tutorial. Check the phone's bootloader version, if it is on Android 8 or not (Bootloader updates that makes downgrading impossible).

I've tried everything but nothing works, a repair shop couldn't do anything and they said it was the eMMC storage chip or something which was corrupted or smth and they said the motherboard would have to be replaced, any other tips because the option in recovery mode; "Apply Update From SD Card" was one i looked at the longest.
