Cannot connect to App Store, Cannot Update!

This is driving me insane!

My iPhone 5c seems to be trolling me. For example it believes that it's 7:00am and November 26th. The GPS also just won't connect. It will not allow me to update to the next version. No matter what I do, from hard resets, to wiping the phone and starting over on it. Nothing works.

I cannot even access the AppStore. It says unable to connect. However, when using my other iPhone 5c I can connect to the AppStore. The time works perfectly. Everything is great. So I know there is no issue with Apple App Store. It's just my phone. I should've know better to buy this (extremely cheap) thing from the local shop on the corner.

TLDR: Anyone knows what chips I need to replace to make my iPhone 5c work? I'm guessing this is a motherboard problem and since I have a decent amount of knowledge in soldering I'm pretty sure I can fix it, if I know what chips to replace. If this is not a motherboard problem could it be something more simple like a SIM card issue?

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Have you used iTunes and do a restore or update via that?

Yeap. The phone hates me. I haven't a clue as to what could be wrong. I know it was a used phone but that doesn't explain why it's behaving this way. The last thing I ever want to do is throw it away because it works well, minus those two things I mentioned.

When trying to connect and update by using my MacBook it shows a error saying it can't update. I wish this was a simple problem but I have a feeling I will need to go to the nearest apple store. I was trying to avoid that as it has no warranty but oh well. :(

You should take it to the apple store, it's most likely a logic board issue.

Ugh, I was hoping you wouldn't say that. I'm sadly thinking you are right.
