iPhone 6s Plus With Burn Marks On Four Corners Internally - STRANGE

One of the more interesting repairs we have came across. Can anyone help:

iPhone 6s Plus- only issue is no service. However it lets us search for signal it’s just not strong.

On opening of device we got a strange smell (burning)

4 parts of device are melted/show burn marks:

On small bracket that sits under camera shield

On Wifi Antenna

Beside Taptic Engine

In corner of Loudspeaker.

the board itself shows no signs of burning.

How on earth has this happened?

Note: 3rd Party LCD fitted previously (not ourselves). Everything else original

Does the battery seem to big and imploded? If not I don’t know how that could have happened unless every component got overheated and made burn marks.

Probably electrocuted. The voltage between the case and external is high therefore high current and burned, but between the case and board there aren’t enough voltage difference between them so didn’t fry that bad.

Yeah you hit the jackpot, I see this all the time with microwaved iPhones.

Problem with microwave is that it internally and externally obliterates the antenna chips, antennas and modules.

@benjamen50 Any idea why someone would want to microwave an iPhone ? fixing liquid damage ?

Wow, people do all kinds of crazy sh it

Probably because they've heard on the internet you can charge your battery in your iPhone by using a microwave otherwise playing around I guess.
