Motherboard broke after the J4503 front camera connector

I have a bent iphone7 plus with cracked screen. After I removed the motherboard, I can see the motherboard is broken after the J4503 front camera connector and before the small circle (see attached picture).The motherboard is broke completely at the narrowest point, just right after the J4503 front camera connector. What is my option with this motherboard? Am I going to lose some of the functions since the motherboard broke off. It look like I can connect to iTunes and it recognize it.

Most likely you have severed many micro traces that run on and within the board when it broke. It would be very likely that the functions of the cameras, flash, volume, power button, etc... would be affected and doubt this is repairable.

Can you add a photo of how bad the break is? You would also run the risk of shorting components to ground, creating heat which would be a fire risk.

There is of course no way of knowing exactly without testing and troubleshooting the many parts and functions.

IF, the board is a loss and cannot be used, do not throw it out. If it connects to Itunes, do a backup of your data while you can, default/reset the phone and it would still hold value as a parts board to a tech.
