2 batteries one new connector and still not powering on! A6 chip?

Evening all.

So I have a dead iPhone, redone the batteries and connector and still not joy. It came to me after it was charging on holiday in Europe. My first thought was voltage issues. However now it doesn't want to play ball I'm guessing the next step is a reflow. Can anyone recommend a detailed video for the A6 chip or am I going to far too fast.

I want to try and save the internal memory as she has some important photos.

Any ideas greatly appreciated

Update

She states it was just plugged in. I have checked the fuses and they look ok, I did ask about water damage. I haven't advanced to reflow/solder yet and this one scares me. Think I'll have to refer this one!

It looks like its going depend on how the phone went down, water damage, general wear and tear on components or maybe static shock from lightening? There is alot to eliminate before you start re flowing components.

I looked into re flowing both the A5 and A6 processors a while back, all I remember finding were very short videos that didnt have much to offer in the way of techniques. Since then ive re-flown several different boards successfully, but they were not iphone processors, all I can say is that A6 looks like a doozy to get out of there without harming surrounding components.
