Where can I find heat sink for the A8 processor?

Hi,

My iPhone 6 got fixed few months ago (charging unit damaged, no warranty for iPhone in Israel since it bought from US). Suddenly I felt the battery was "free to move" inside, so I opened it and sticked it with adhesive.

The thing is, while I opened the iPhone I found out that when they fixed my phone - they didn't put back 2 parts. I found where to buy one of them but I couldn't find where to buy the other one, which is the metal (I guess it is called "heat sink") which sits on the A8 chip...

Does anyone here know where can I find it? Otherwise - have any idea for other solution? (Talking with those who repaired my iPhone won't help since too much time was passed...)

Thanks for the help in advance!

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Bro i know im extra late, but the pices could be found on amazon, do your own repairs from now on its simple, also, its probably the shielding apple doesnt use “heat sinks” like other cellphones, im actually looking into why they dont and everyone says “no phone uses it” but every andrioid flagship like the s7 s8 and note 8 op5T etc use a copper coil as a heat sink while iphones have never done this, some claiming the aluminum acts like a heat sink, given, again its probably the shielding and you can get a fill replacement for the homebutton screen etc (all the brakets and shielding) on ebay for around $7 (for thr iphone 7 in a matte black) i hope you had luck....

Actually, the shield over the CPU also acts as a heatsink. When you first remove it, it is filled with a carbon based heat sink compound to allow good thermal conductivity with the shield.

Thanks bro,

It is late (my iPhone 6 got other issues since then and now it's not in use) - but for the other's which might have the same question it indeed can help.
