Taking a broken iPhone and sitting down in front of a search engine can be intimidating.  It's a challenge to know where to even begin.  For many normal, intelligent people the added frustration can be knowing that the answers are out there, but that it's such a challenge for you personally to make the connection between symptom and diagnosis.  Don't feel too badly, however, because just as there are doctors out there who get paid the big bucks to know what's going wrong, there are technicians out there who specialize in diagnosing iPhone issues.  The iPhone has created an entire culture of 'people in the know' who exist for the sole purpose of pointing the rest of the pack in the right direction.  Many people pray when they finally get that golden diagnosis that it's something simple and easy to fix.  For most, however, it's something major like the iphone communication board.  When that kind of news comes, it may be time to start weighing your options.

This complex piece of machinery is extremely important to the use of an iPhone.  This is the part that controls the Wi-Fi function of the phone, and is essentially the 'motherboard' of the device.  Due to the complexity it is hard to replace, especially to replace correctly.  An iphone communication board is central to the phone's working properly, and as any forum or message board online will tell you it's a difficult repair job.  There are certain tools and skills required to successfully complete an iphone communication board replacement that the average person doesn't necessarily have lying around.  If you are absolutely sure that you have the correct diagnosis, and are ready to attempt the repair on your own, take the time to read several tutorials on making the replacement.  Spend the time to find exactly the right replacement part and get the best deal online.  Sometimes the part will be easy to find used for a good price, other times it may have to be purchased new.  Read accounts of other people who have attempted the repair and both succeeded and failed.  Watch as many videos as possible.  If you have put in the necessary thought and time to do the repair on your own by all means proceed.  If you are feeling a little queasy after all that research, it's okay too.  It may be time to move on to the 'finding a professional repair-person' stage.

Often there will be someone or some business in your area that does iphone communication board repairs.  If not, there are many sources online that can help.  Often, they will send you the right packaging to send out the phone.  This may take a little longer, but can often warrant a better price.  There are also options to sell used and even broken iPhones online for cash which can be quite handy if the repair is just too expensive.  These companies will either refurbish the phone to resell, or take what parts they can to either refurbish other phones or resell them.  In this way the iPhone is 'recycled,' and you still get something out of it.  Most of the time, however, it will be possible to replace or repair the existing iphone communication board and have your phone back up and running in no time!
