iPhone turns on with cable but won't charge

After repairing my wi-fi component on the motherboard with some heat, the device turned on when I plugged it on the cable (original), but it wouldn't charge. I've tried connecting to my computer, still no answer, also tried 3 other cables but nothing happens. I've already tried changing the dock conector and the battery.

What else should I try? I believe that the problem is in the motherboard, I wonder where and how can I fix that problem ASAP.

Thanks for your time.

What about the U2 IC? That might be it.

Thanks for your answer.

How can I check the U2 IC? And, if this is the problem, how can I fix that?

Thanks again.

I honestly don't know how to check the U2 IC, but your phone is showing symptoms of a fried U2. You can fix it with microsoldering, but since you replaced the wifi chip you can probably do it. You need to desolder the old one and put on a new one. This is a u2 IC:

Ok. If I just heat it up a bit and press would be enough to fix? Or do you think that I actually have to replace it for a new one?

And I have another question, how did that stopped working if I was really far from the bottom of the motherboard?

Appreciate your time!

You would have to actually replace it with a new one, and maybe you made a cold solder joint under the U2 IC when you partially heated it.
