Could be a short on the board. Do you know if when it was fixed, they cleaned the board with alcohol, or preferably ran it through an ultrasonic cleaner, with shields removed? If it wasn't cleaned or if the shields weren't removed, there could be corrosion.

They said they ran it through an ultrasonic cleaner, they said nothing about shields though. If it's corrosion could that make my phone brake and not comeback on? Is there a way to fix corrosion?

You definitely want to take the shields off before putting it in the ultrasonic cleaner. Otherwise, it's like taking a bath with your clothes on still. Corrosion can definitely cause those problems, especially when the device has power sent to it.

Alright, I will go and ask if they will make sure the logic board and shields are good . Thanks
